Why Do I Have to Pay For My Medical Records?

According to HIPAA, everyone is entitled to receive copies of their complete medical records. The original documents are property of your physician, but if you request your medical records, you are entitled to a copy of them in their entirety. While the law seems simple enough, the process can actually be quite inundated and confusing. That’s where Order Medical Records comes into the picture. We are an online medical record retrieval company that simplifies the process for both you and your physician.

If you would like a copy of your medical records, you simply need to submit a request for them, as well as an authorization form. The great thing about Order Medical Records is that all of this can be done online, from the comfort of your home! Just log onto our site and click the Order Now button. You will need to fill in some basic information about you and your physician before submitting. Authorizations can also be completed online, or if you prefer, you can print them out and fax them to us at .

If your doctor has directed you to our site, or you’ve gone through this process on your own for some reason, you have likely realized that you need to enter information for a form of payment. You may be wondering why you have to pay for your own medical records, and the answer, in part, is that it is a complicated, time-consuming process. Physicians can become so swamped with requests for medical records that it inhibits their ability to provide excellent care to their patients. When this happens, doctors can partner with Order Medical Records to provide the service to their patients for them. This frees physicians up to maintain their level of superior patient care, which is their ultimate goal.

How Can I Pay for Order Medical Records Services?

Due to the fact that we will not know the total cost until the charts are copied, entering information for a credit card is the best option. You can certainly pay by check, but this will likely delay the process up to seven days. If you’re looking for records in a hurry, then a credit card is the best option. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
