Hey everyone,
I’ve got a patient who needs all her medical notes for a trial coming up. Wanted to see if anyone has a medical release form that was standard that her lawyer can sign. Much appreciated.

Not sure about your state law, but don’t the attorneys there send you a subpoena with the patients signature for the release of records for a trial?
The HIPAA release form that the patient signs might have something to help with the release or a standard release of records that the patients signs documenting the request.
Either way, I’d charge a copying fee for the records for an attorney.

In Mass, the attached are copies of what would be sent from an attorney when they are requesting medical records. I would assume the attorney should be able to furnish something like this to your office.
In this case, I sent copies of the requested medical records along with what the attorney sent (see attached) as a pseudo ‘cover sheet’. If the records need to be ‘certified’ I can forward you a word copy of what we use in our office.

Much appreciated!
