Medical Records

Count on UNC Health Nash to keep your medical records safe and confidential. Work with our health information management staff to request a copy of your records or release them to an authorized provider.

Your Online Medical Record

Sign up for a free My UNC Chart account to access your electronic medical record for visits and services that occur on or after September 22, 2018. You’ll see details about the care you receive from UNC Nash and other UNC Health Care providers. My UNC Chart is a secure online “patient portal” that allows you to manage appointments, get select test results, see doctor visit summaries, and view hospital admissions.

How to Request Your Medical Records

Fill out an Authorization for Disclosure of Health Information [PDF] form to get a complete copy of your Nash UNC medical record or authorize us to send your record to a provider for follow-up care.

Complete, sign, and return your form to UNC Nash by:

• Fax – 252-962-8291

Send Your Medical Records to a Provider

The provider on your authorization form may receive your records for follow-up care. We can fax your records the same day we get your request at no charge. We don’t fax medical records for non-patient care purposes.

Ways to Receive Your Medical Records

When you ask for a copy of your medical records for personal use, copying fees will apply. You’ll get a bill in the mail from ScanSTAT Copy Service with your medical records.

You have the option to receive your medical records by:

• In-person pick up – Get your records at our health information management department once we notify you they are ready for pick up
