Under the Health Insurance Portability and Security Act (HIPAA), you have the right to view and request changes to your medical record. One convenient way to access and manage your health information is through the MyWellSpan portal, which allows you to do so from any device at any time.

If you need a copy of your medical record, you can easily request it through MyWellSpan’s Sharing section by selecting Request Medical Records and providing the necessary information. If you prefer a paper form, you can use the Authorization to Use or Disclose Health Information form instead. If you are unable to use MyWellSpan for any reason, these forms can be used as an alternative method.

To make changes to your medical record, your best option is through your MyWellSpan account. You can navigate to the Document Center and select Requested Records & Record Amendments, where you can submit a detailed request for a change in your medical record. Alternatively, if this method is not available or preferred, you can use an online or paper form such as the Patient Requested Amendment Form or mail or email your request for a change in your medical record.

WellSpan Health also provides other medical record forms for specific requests, such as the Next of Kin Verification Form for deceased loved ones or the 21st Century Cures Act Request Form for requests related to electronic health information. These forms are designed for different purposes and should be used appropriately.

Overall, HIPAA gives individuals the power to view and request changes to their medical records with ease through various methods available through WellSpan Health’s MyWellSpan portal and other forms provided by WellSpan Health.
