How do I search for a doctor to request medical records?

Enter the doctor's name, NPI number, or specialty in the search bar. Results come from the National Provider Identifier registry and include verified contact information, practice addresses, and hospital affiliations you need to submit a records request.

What is an NPI number and why does it matter for records requests?

An NPI (National Provider Identifier) is a unique 10-digit number assigned to every healthcare provider. Including the NPI in your records request ensures it reaches the correct provider and speeds up processing.

Can I request records from multiple doctors at once?

Yes. MedicalRecords.com's retrieval service can handle records requests from multiple providers simultaneously, saving you from contacting each office individually. Search for each provider and initiate requests from their profile pages.
