Missouri Authorization To Inspect and Or Copy Medical Records is a document that allows an individual to grant permission for a third party to access and view their medical records. It allows the designated party to view, inspect, access, and/or receive copies of the individual's medical records from a health care provider, such as a hospital or doctor's office. This document must be completed and signed by the individual granting authorization, and it must also include the name of the person to whom the records will be given. There are two types of Missouri Authorization To Inspect and Or Copy Medical Records: "For Use of Patient" and "For Use of Patient's Representative". The "For Use of Patient" type is used when the patient themselves wishes to grant permission to a third party to access their records. The "For Use of Patient's Representative" type is used when the patient's authorized representative (such as a legal guardian, family member, or attorney) wishes to grant permission to a third party to access the patient's records.
