Medical record requests

Organize medical records and provider paperwork after a car accident.

After a crash, records may be spread across hospital portals, urgent-care discharge packets, therapy offices, imaging centers, pharmacies, insurers, and email. Use this checklist to make the records easier to review without guessing about fault, injury severity, coverage, or value.

How to make medical records easier to review

  1. List every provider in one place. Include hospital, ER, urgent care, primary care, specialists, therapy providers, imaging centers, pharmacies, and any provider portals you used.
  2. Keep records by date. Sort discharge instructions, visit summaries, referrals, imaging orders, bills, EOBs, prescriptions, and follow-up notes by treatment date so the timeline is easier to understand.
  3. Separate requested records from received records. Mark which records you already downloaded, which offices you contacted, request dates, expected response windows, and any missing bills or EOBs.
  4. Match bills and EOBs to visits. Pair each bill, copay receipt, pharmacy receipt, or insurance explanation with the visit or provider it belongs to, including open balances when available.
  5. Write a factual accident-and-treatment timeline. Note the crash date, first symptoms, first treatment date, follow-up visits, missed work, transportation issues, and claim communications without speculating about fault or value.
  6. Use the free-review form when ready. Share the details you know now: state, ZIP, accident timing, attorney status, fault details, injury symptoms, treatment status, pending records, and a short description.
