records, and there are clear rules that dictate that they are to provide you with your medical records in a timely
fasion and for a reasonable cost. Under Missouri Revised Statute

medical records of a loved one or a family member can be harder. But guess what, under Missouri law you can still
obtain those records.

can request the medical records of either a deceased loved one or a deceased family member. If you have any

Whenever you go to the doctor, are injured and go to a specialist or for any reason you ever see a health
professional, chances are that you also have medical records that you can request. But how do you go about getting
those records? Do you have to pay for them? What if the hospital or health professional gives push back or says no?
What are the proper steps to get your health records?
It’s important to remember that hospital and health providers owe you a duty towards your medical records. You have a
right to those records and access to those records. Now, they can request that you pay for the copies of the
records, but it has to be a reasonable cost. They can’t charge you whatever they want to keep you from getting the
records. Missouri and Illinois Laws both protect your rights and access to the records.
