Health care records may be requested by a competent patient if he or she is at least 18 years old (or younger than 18 but emancipated). If a patient is incompetent, the request for health records may be made by the parent, guardian or custodian of the patient.
In the case of a deceased patient, a request for records may be made by either a coroner or a personal representative of the patient’s estate. If the deceased does not have a personal representative, the spouse of the patient may make a request. However, if there is no spouse, either a child of the deceased patient or the parent, guardian or custodian of the child if the child is incompetent may make a request.
