Caring for a parent? With proper authorization, we retrieve their records and land them safely.
Direct answer
What does this records request need?
A family relationship alone may not authorize access to a parent's records. The provider must verify that the requester is the patient, has the patient's signed authorization, or qualifies as the patient's personal representative under the applicable documents and law.
- The provider's authority-document requirements
- Current identification and authorization

Questions for this situation
Can I get my parent's records?
With proper authorization — a signed HIPAA authorization, a healthcare power of attorney, or proof you're the personal representative — yes. We retrieve and land them safely.
What if I'm not the legal representative?
The provider must verify your authority before releasing records. We help you assemble the right authorization; without it, HIPAA prevents release.
Would rather handle it yourself? The free letter is always at findmy.health.
