Medical Records
Mount Carmel has process and procedures to ensure timely release of medical records for care received at our hospitals and other medical facilities.
How can I obtain a copy of my medical record?
Mount Carmel has two forms available for medical record release.
Online Request Application for Patients
Click the button to submit a request through our secure online request application with request status tracking. Please have your driver’s license or photo ID ready. Copies of medical records may be provided via MRO on-line portal, US Postal mail, or secure email.
Patient Directed Access Request Form
You may download the “Request For Patient Directed Access To Protected Health Information (PHI)” form to request on-site access to your records, to obtain a copy of your records via US Postal mail or secure/unsecure email, or to direct Mount Carmel to send your records to a third party.
Authorization Form
The authorization form is required when a patient or his/her representative is authorizing disclosure to another person/entity. You may download the “Authorization for Use & Disclosure” Form.
Mount Carmel will accept an outside authorization form as long as it meets all legal requirements for a valid authorization.
