How much does a typical record request cost?
Our Fair Pricing model presents a $65 fixed flat fee for handling all aspects of a typical record request. We also offer a wide range of time- and cost-saving document management services. You can see the full details on our pricing page.
Do you guarantee results?
Yes, we will work the case until you get what you need. We do a quality check to make sure the records are for the correct person, legible, within the correct time frame, and the type of records requested. Sometimes providers or copy services send incomplete records, and it’s impossible for us to identify if they left something out. In this situation, once you inform us, we go back to the provider to get what’s missing — at no additional fee to you.
If a record is unavailable, a “No Records Found” certificate will be issued automatically.
How fast can you deliver?
Our statistical average turnaround time is 15 days.
How does it work? What’s the process?
Our system is incredibly easy to use: Simply submit your medical record request through our secure, encrypted, HIPAA-compliant online portal. You can log in at any time to check the status of your documents and when they are ready, you can download them.
We are also well known for our hands-on service, so if we encounter any issues with your request, we will reach out to you immediately. And if you ever have any questions or concerns, you can contact us directly for immediate help.
