Fast, Verified Medical Record Retrieval for Law Firms, Insurers & Patients
Stop losing 60+ days to rejected HIPAA authorizations, unbundled UB-04 / CMS-1500 itemized bills, missing DICOM radiology studies, and inflated Datavant (Ciox) / MRO / Sharecare vendor invoices. We dispatch parallel multi-department packets and audit every invoice against 50-state statutory fee caps and 45 CFR § 164.524.
Retrieval Fee & Statutory Quick Facts
- Patient Direct Right-of-Access (45 CFR § 164.524)
- When records are delivered directly to the patient, hospital copy fees are limited to reasonable labor costs ($0 search fee; optional $6.50 flat-fee election by some EHR providers).
- Third-Party / Law Firm Rule (Ciox Health v. Azar, 2020)
- When records are delivered to a law firm, insurer, or third-party vendor, requests are governed by 50-state statutory per-page and search fee schedules, which we audit on every vendor invoice.
- Multi-Provider Case & Volume Pricing
- $89 for 1st Provider (+$49 each additional provider; +$39 for 5+ providers in the same case). Order up to 25 providers with one signature.

Patient Direct HIPAA Requests vs. Third-Party Law Firm Retrieval
Understanding the statutory distinction between a patient's direct request under 45 CFR § 164.524 and a third-party attorney request or civil subpoena prevents rejected packets and unlawful ROI vendor overcharges.

| Mandatory Turnaround | 30 Calendar Days federal max (15 days in CA, TX, NY, CO) | State statutory turnaround (typically 15 to 30 days) | Return date specified on subpoena + statutory notice window |
| Required Authorization | Signed written request by patient or personal representative + photo ID | Full 45 CFR § 164.508(c) HIPAA release + Part 2/psych/HIV initials | Subpoena + Notice to Consumer / 45 CFR § 164.512(e) Satisfactory Assurance |
| Court Admissibility | Uncertified clinical copy unless custodian affidavit is specifically added | Eligible for FRE 902(11) Business Records Declaration upon request | Mandatory Custodian of Records Affidavit + Certificate of No Records (CNR) |
