With the Health Insurance Portability and Security Act (HIPAA), you have the right to view your medical record and make changes to it. The quickest and easiest way to access your health information is through MyWellSpan portal, which allows you to manage your care from any device at any time.
To request a copy of your medical record through MyWellSpan, simply navigate to the Sharing section in the menu and select Request Medical Records. Fill in the required information to receive your medical record electronically. If you are unable to use MyWellSpan, you can use an alternative method by filling out a paper form called Authorization to Use or Disclose Health Information.
If you need to make changes to your medical record, the best way is through your MyWellSpan account. By navigating to the Document Center and selecting Requested Records & Record Amendments, you can submit a request for a change in your medical record with detailed information. Alternatively, you can use an online or paper form such as Patient Requested Amendment Form or mail/email your request for change in your medical record.
In addition to these forms, WellSpan Health provides other specific requests forms for different purposes, such as Next of Kin Verification Form for deceased loved ones or 21st Century Cures Act Request Form for requests related electronic health information. These forms should be used appropriately depending on their purpose.
Overall, HIPAA provides individuals with the right to access and modify their medical records quickly and easily through various channels such as MyWellSpan portal and paper forms.
