Request Medical Records
As an NYU Langone patient, you can request, download, and access your medical record right to your smart phone or computer, through
NYU Langone Health MyChart
, our secure patient portal.
Parents and caregivers can request and access medical records for a child or a family member with the proper consent, by establishing
MyChart proxy access
. Patients and healthcare providers are not charged to obtain copies of medical records. There are fees for attorney requests. You can also request medical records by completing our records release form and submitting it by email, mail, or fax.
Request Medical Records Quickly and Efficiently Through NYU Langone Health MyChart
The easiest and fastest way for NYU Langone patients to access and
request their medical record is to use their MyChart account
is by following these simple steps:
Log in to MyChart.
Select “Menu” button.
Select “Request/Share Records.”
Select “Request Medical Record.”
Enter the date range for the medical records you need, or you can request all dates.
Select “Full visit details.”
Select “Agree to release information.”
Select “Send request.”
Once submitted, you will be notified as soon as your records are ready. Records requested through MyChart are usually available to view immediately. You can download and share these records with a family member, healthcare provider, or anyone else you choose.
You can also
download your radiology images
through your NYU Langone MyChart account. If you are a patient at NYU Langone and do not yet have a MyChart account, you can
create your account online
Parents and guardians can also request and access their child’s medical record in MyChart through proxy or shared access. Patients ages 12 and older can grant access to their MyChart account to a family member or caregiver. For children ages 11 and younger, parents and guardians may request proxy access to their child’s health record in MyChart.
Request Medical Records by Completing and Submitting a Form
Requesting your medical record through MyChart, as described in the previous section, is the fastest way to obtain your documents.
However, if you prefer not to use MyChart, you can request your medical records from your NYU Langone visits by completing the
Authorization for Use and Disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI) form
To submit the form via traditional mail, fax, or email, please
download a static version of the form
. You must sign the form before submitting it, and we can only process forms from NYU Langone patients. With this method, it may take several days for you to receive your records.
The Authorization for Use and Disclosure of PHI form is also available in the following languages:
Albanian
Arabic
Bengali
Chinese
French
Greek
Haitian–Creole
Hindi
Italian
Korean
Polish
Portuguese
Russian
Spanish
Requests for copies of your medical records to be sent directly to a healthcare provider for an upcoming appointment are expedited, and we make every effort to have them available at the time of your visit.

To request hospital records, please send the completed form, along with a copy of your photo identification, to the following address:

Request Medical Records for a Deceased Patient
A family member or representative can also request medical records for a deceased patient. To request records for a deceased patient, you can complete the
Authorization for Use and Disclosure of PHI form
and a letter of testamentary from the courts designating the administrator or executor. Alternatively, you can also complete an authorization form, submit an original copy of the patient’s death certificate, and the signed or notarized
Affidavit of Distributee Status form
Another option is to complete an authorization form, letters of testamentary or the affidavit form, an original copy of the death certificate, and a power of attorney form signed by the distributee explicitly authorizing the requester to request medical records.
You can submit all forms to the street address, email, or fax number listed on the Authorization for Use and Disclosure of PHI form.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy rule protects the individually identifiable health information of a decedent for 50 years following the date of death of the patient.
Correct or Amend Your Medical Record
If you believe that the information in your medical record is incorrect, please complete and return the
Request for Amendment form
. Your healthcare provider reviews this form and responds to the request.
We can help you find a doctor.
