Request Medical Records

Patients may inspect, obtain copies of or have copies of their medical records sent to another health care provider or individual.
Request Medical Records
Patients can use our online tool to request a copy of your medical records.

Methodist Health System hospitals and clinics are required under state and federal laws to obtain a complete and properly executed release of medical information form before they may provide a copy of a patient’s records to anyone. In the event the patient is unable to execute the authorization, the patient’s legal representative may authorize the release of information.

In addition to utilizing the Methodist My Care portal or our online request tool, you can obtain medical records by downloading and completing the medical records request form(s) below:

Release of Information (English) - PDFRelease of Information (Spanish) - PDF

When completing the authorization form:

  • Indicate the dates of treatment for which you are requesting.
  • Indicate the type of records needed by checking the appropriate boxes.
  • When checking Entire Medical Record, sensitive information, such as mental health records and/or substance use disorder records, will not be released without checking these additional boxes.

If the patient is a minor – 17 years or younger in Iowa or 18 or younger in Nebraska – the authorization must be signed by a parent or their legally qualified representative. Proof of legal representation will be required.

Send completed form by fax or mail.

For Providers Requesting Patient Records

Providers may obtain copies of their patients' medical records and have them sent via fax or secure email to their location for continuation of care. Most requests are reviewed within 72 hours. If a request involves more than one year's worth of information or numerous encounters, it may take longer to process.
