What Are Medical Records?

Medical Records contain your medical information. To provide you quality care and to comply with certain legal requirements, these records could include:

  • A list of your allergies
  • A list of your medications
  • Diagnoses
  • Diseases
  • Immunization records
  • Information about your care, services obtained, or treatments received
  • Summaries of your patient visits
  • Test results

Your Privacy, Rights, and the Authorization of Your Medical Records

By law, it is your right to request access to your Protected Health Information (PHI). NorthLakes Community Clinic is dedicated to protecting and maintaining the confidentiality of your PHI. We will only share your records as needed for treatment, payment, or with your permission. 

To request access, please download our Health Information Release Form, which is always required to be filled out and sent to us.

When you fill out this form, the law requires that the authorization includes the patient or guardian’s written signature along with the date when then the request is being authorized. Please review our Health Information Release form for more details about disclosing your PHI.
