At this time, UC Health is not releasing medical records in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we do offer other options for obtaining medical records.
Patients may request a copy of their medical records by completing and submitting an Authorization for Release of Personal Health Information form.
Please download and complete the authorization form to submit your medical record request by fax, email or mail.
Verification of identity may be required. Acceptable forms of identification include driver’s license, employment ID, state-issued ID, current school ID, military ID, VA. ID or a valid, current passport.
