Patients, or their legal representative, may inspect or obtain copies of their St. Vincent's Medical Center medical records or have copies sent elsewhere by following these instructions:

Complete an Authorization for Disclosure of Protected Health Information (PDF) to disclose records to anyone, including the patient. A handwritten note from the patient will not suffice for authorization to disclose records.

• Please print.
• Indicate dates of treatment, especially if you've had multiple episodes of care.
• Indicate what type of records you need.

Records may not be immediately available if you come to the Medical Records Department without prior notice to the Medical Records staff.

Our experience has shown the summary information in documents listed below is actually what most patients are seeking rather than the entire chart:

• Discharge Summary
• Operative Report
• Diagnostic studies

If you aren't sure what information you need, please give us a call at (203) 576-5193.

Phone requests for information will not be accepted.

Radiology images (films) are not part of your medical record. (i.e., your records contain reports of interpretations of such images). Contact the Radiology Department to obtain films. (203) 576-5070

Your medical record does not contain your Billing Statements. The Financial & Insurance Information section of this website contains instructions on how to obtain billing data.
