Personal Injury

Dear Recipient's name, I am writing you to request copies of my medical records. I was treated in your office on xx/xx/xxxx. Please include all of my charts, test results, and consultation notes including referrals regarding my medical care.

How to Request Your Medical Records. Most practices or facilities will ask you to fill out a form to request your medical records. This request form can usually be collected at the office or delivered by fax, postal service, or email. If the office doesn't have a form, you can write a letter to make your request.

This statute basically states that any report which sets forth in story form the doctor's assessment of the patient's history, diagnosis and treatment shall be admissible into evidence.

Details of the patient such as name and address. Name of the doctor. Purpose of the appointment. Requested date and time of the appointment. Any previous history with the doctor or any other doctor. Name of your health insurance plan.

Use an appropriate business letter format. Keep it simple. If appropriate, provide the recipient with pertinent information to help them remember who you are. Briefly explain what it is you want the reader to do.

Write "Dear Dr." and the doctor's last name on the top line of the letter itself. For example, begin your message with, "Dear Dr. Williams." Use this prefix for those with doctorates, too, unless the person has specifically told you to avoid doing so.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Narrative medicine is a medical approach that utilizes people's narratives in clinical practice, research, and education as a way to promote healing.

Explain precisely what your request is. Mention the reason for the request. Use polite language and a professional tone. Demonstrate respect and gratitude to the reader. The content of the letter should be official. You may provide contact information where you can be reached.
