​​​​IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING COPIES OF YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS:
Nothing is stored in an Electronic Medical Record here. It is all hard copy secure.
After each visit since 1997 you were given copies of all labs, notes, consults and imaging.
Therefore, you have a duplicate of your records from Dr Merrifield. She gave you medical chart tabs and
asked you to keep your records updated over the years.
When seeing other providers, take copies of your own to share with them as we do not have an Electronic Medical Record to forward copies.
If they request copies of your records we will let them know you have been given copies of your records
to share and can bring them. If you want another copy there will be a charge as it is labor intense.
Most of your data and history is already available in the hospital or lab digital medical files.
The ones they will not have are the functional medical tests results, which you have copies of.
TIPS on seeing other providers:
- When you see any provider for the first time write out your chronological history of your complaint.
- Where were you born and how was your health as a child? When did you start to become unwell?
- What were your symptoms? Whom did you see? What was done (tests, treatments)? Did it help?
- Did you experience any side effects? What are your primary concerns.
- This will save time and help organize your thoughts. It will help time efficiency at your visits.
- Know who your current insurance is and their out-of-network coverage.
- Bring copies of recent labs, x-rays, surgeries, consults etc for review.
- Make a set of records for yourself and put them in your binder with the binder tabs we have given you.
