Request Medical Records
Use our online tool to request a copy of your medical records. Please allow up to 30 days for your request to be processed.
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) - PDF | Release 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 his/her legally qualified representative. Proof of legal representation will be required.
