Medical Record Requests

Important: Due to COVID-19, we are temporarily not accepting in-person requests or pick-up of medical records. All requests must be submitted via USPS.

How to Obtain Your Records

If you need to request a copy of your medical record, please send your request via the USPS. A handwritten signature, date, and a copy of your State ID are required for all record requests to ensure patient security and privacy.

HIPAA Compliance & Record Types

Please note that per Federal HIPAA Law (45 CFR 164.524(a)(2)), FBH is not required to release Psychotherapy or Process Notes. However, we can provide:

  • Diagnoses & Medicine History
  • Laboratory Results (if applicable)
  • Non-Psychiatric / Non-Psychotherapy Medical Data

Who is Authorized to Sign?

  • The Patient: Or the patient’s legally authorized representative (legal documentation required).
  • Parents: Of a patient under 18. (Note: Patients 18 or older must submit their own HIPAA request).
  • Executors: A legally-appointed administrator of an estate for a deceased patient (death certificate and court order required).

Record Request Fees

The HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR 164.524(c)(4)) permits covered entities to charge a reasonable, cost-based fee for labor, supplies, and postage.

FBH will WAIVE ALL FEES for an OFFICIAL FBH SUMMARY LETTER (contains Diagnoses, Medicines, and Labs).

*Fee waiver applies only to Official Summary Letters sent to you or your new provider at no cost.
