Medical Records Request
Healthcare
Intake a records ask with whose chart, date range, and where to send it — a request inbox, not a release determination.
“Send my records” without a date range is a chart dump nobody meant to ask for. This GRTforms template asks whose file, what kind of copy, and where it should go. It is intake for the HIM desk — not a finding that a release is valid, and not legal advice.
Who it is for
Health information desks and small practices that still fulfill copies by email or disc.
When to use it
Link it from the privacy notice. Data Deletion Request is a different right. Insurance Update is coverage. Policy Acknowledgment is a handbook, not a chart copy.
What this form collects
Requester identity, patient name and birth date, request type, optional date range, optional destination, and optional detail.
- Patient portal “need a copy” link
- Transfer to a new specialist
- Billing packet the payer already asked for

Frequently asked questions
Does submitting this release the chart today?
No. Staff still verify the requester and apply your process. Identity checks and exceptions are yours — this form only captures the ask.
Is this a HIPAA authorization?
It is a request inbox, not a determination that an authorization is complete. If your counsel wants specific statutory language, add it after you clone the template.
Can a caregiver request records here?
They can start the intake. Pair it with Caregiver Consent so the desk knows who may hear results. Authority questions still belong with your privacy officer.
