Identity Theft – Requesting a Free Copy of Medical Records

Requesting a Free Copy of Your Medical Records

  • Kentucky law entitles you to one FREE COPY of your medical records. This request must be done in writing and sent to the medical provider.
  • Review the EOBs (explanation of benefits) you receive from your health insurance carrier. Making sure claims submitted (and paid by your insurance company) are valid claims for the services provided. For example, if you treated for a cold, make sure they billed for a cold.
