Medical Record Requests

UPMC has a deep commitment to protecting the privacy of your medical information. Because of this, there are different ways to view, obtain, and request changes to your medical records.

View and Obtain Your Medical Record

UPMC’s free patient portals give you access to your current UPMC medical record 24/7. Log in or create an account to view your record and health information.

Medical Records Release Form

Patients may request a copy of their medical record or ask to send it to someone else.

To safeguard your privacy, complete and sign a protected health information release form.

On the form, you can let us know:

What records you want us to release.
Where to send your records.
What format — either electronic or paper — you want your records.

UPMC may charge fees allowable under State law and the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). We do not charge a fee to release medical records to physicians or other health care facilities. There may be a fee to release copies for personal use or to release copies to a third party.
