Medical records are typically stored in Electronic Health Records, like MyChart. Organizations that use Epic MyChart can share electronic health records easily through a process called Care Everywhere. When you start with your new GHC-SCW insurance, our staff will pull in your outside records if we have access. If we don’t have access, follow the steps below to transfer your records.

- Download the Authorization to Receive Medical Records from Another Facility Form. The form gives your last provider permission to release your medical records to GHC-SCW.
- Read the document and fill out the form fully. Check all the boxes for the information that you’d like to be released.
- Mail the completed form to your last health care facility. You can find the directions on where to send the form by contacting them.
