Medical Records
Valley Medical Center is committed to protecting your medical information. For information about your rights and the obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of your medical information, please see our Notice of Privacy Practices.
To obtain a copy of your medical records from Valley Medical Center, please download and complete an Request for Release of Medical Records. You may also use this form to have your medical records sent to another medical facility.
Completing An Authorization
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, also known as HIPAA, requires hospitals to obtain an original, complete and properly executed Authorization for Disclosure of Health Information form in order to provide a copy of a patient's medical record to a patient or anyone they designate.
Only the patient, parent/legal guardian or the patients' legal Health Care Representative can sign the form to release medical records.
The authorization form must be legible and complete. Authorizations that are illegible or incomplete will be returned.
Fees
Please contact the Medical Records department for pricing information at 208-746-1383 x6411.
Records released directly to a physician office or medical facility are free of charge.
Processing A Request
Records are usually available within 7-10 business days from the time the request is received.
If you are interested in picking up your medical records in person, when they become available, please note this at the top of the request form. To obtain medical records that you have submitted a request for, please come to Valley Medical Center's Central Registration desk (remember records are usually available within 7-10 business days). You must have a valid photo ID with you. To arrange for another individual to pick up the documents for you, please contact the Medical Records department for instructions at 208-746-1383 x6411.
