How To Request Your Medical Records
Maine law ensures that patients have the right to access and request disclosure of their medical information. Under this law, a patient’s medical record must be made available upon receipt of a written request from the patient or the patient’s representative. Any disclosure of medical records must be accompanied by the patient’s consent or authorization. Records of your hospital stay are maintained by the hospital’s Medical Records Department, also known as the Health Information Management Department.
