You may choose to transfer your medical records from your previous health care professional or a current health care specialist to your GHC-SCW provider. 

Steps to Follow to Transfer Your Medical Records from another Healthcare Organization to GHC-SCW

  • Download and complete the Authorization to Receive Medical Records from Another Facility Form. The form authorizes your previous provider to release your medical records to GHC-SCW.
  • Complete the fields for member's name, social security number, daytime phone number and date of birth.
  • Complete the name and address of the person/facility of your previous health care provider from which the records should be released.
  • Check the appropriate information that is to be released (copied and/or faxed).
  • If this request relates to AIDS/HIV, mental health care, alcohol/drug use or developmental disabilities, please sign and date under the specified section.
  • Review your rights for this authorization here.
  • Review the expiration date of the authorization. If you would like a different expiration date, please indicate it.
  • Obtain the member or legal representative’s signature, relationship to member and date.

 

Mail the completed request to your previous health care facility. You will need to contact your previous clinic directly for information on where to mail or fax the completed form.
