Medical Records

Accessing Your Medical Records

Your health record includes your medical history. It lists information such as allergies, medicines, and test results. It also has your health insurance information and how to contact you.

Our duty at Emory Healthcare is to ensure that your medical record remains confidential. We maintain and release it according to specific laws. You can request access to your patient health information in several ways. 

Electronic Request for Records

Emory Healthcare offers a free Online Patient Record Request tool. Use this tool for:
  • Requesting your own records
  • Parents of minor patients requesting records
  • Caregivers acting on a patient’s behalf (Power of Attorney)

The online tool verifies your identity by requesting a photo of your driver's license. You can use your smartphone or a webcam to take the photo.

Please note that the recommended browsers for this application are Chrome, Safari and Firefox.

If you have any issues, call our Release of Information Call Center at 404-712-4111.

Paper Request for Records

You can have a copy of your medical records sent to another medical facility. You also can get a paper copy for yourself. 


Step 1: Download and fill out the Emory Healthcare Authorization for the Release of Protected Health Information form.

Step 2: Fax, mail or email the form to the Medical Records/Health Information Management Department at the Emory Healthcare facility where you received treatment. You can find contact information for each facility below.

There is no charge to have your medical records sent to another medical facility. If you want your own paper copies, there is a minimal fee per page. You can see these fees on the Authorization for the Release of Protected Health Information Form.

For Medical Professionals

Medical professionals who need records can use our paperless request process. It does not require a login and uses email verification for enhanced security.

Using this tool will be faster than faxing, scanning, or printing. We recommend using a recent version of Chrome, Firefox or Safari to access the online tool.

You can ask to change or add to the information in your medical record. This can help improve the accuracy of your information, and your record will also retain the original information.

 

To amend your medical record, complete this request form.
