Step 4: Contact the facility to find out how to retrieve your Medical Record from that facility.

There are several different ways for you to retrieve your Medical Record from a facility, depending on the facility's policy.

Your medical record is directly obtainable in person, or online, and does require a request document. This is the ideal situation. Simply retrieve the Medical Record yourself and press the "Upload Record" button to go to the "Upload Record" step.
A "Medical Records Request document" is needed to obtain your Medical Record. If this is the case, press the "Generate Request" at the "Check Request Method" step to continue to the "Generate Request" step.

Step 5 (if a request document is needed): Generate the request document to send to the facility.

On the "Generate Request" step, press the "Generate Request" button at the "Generate Request" step to generate the required "Medical Records Request document". Wait till the document is generated and then press the "Send it out" button.

Step 6 (if a request document is needed): Send the generated "Medical Record Request document" to the facility.

It is preferred that you email the "Medical Records Request document" to the facility, if they accept email requests. If they only accept a faxed "Medical Record Request document", press the "Fax" button to fax the "Medical Record Request document" to the facility.

Step 7: Once you've retrieved your Medical Record from one of your facilities, upload it in the "Upload Record" step.
