I believe it is essential to have a comprehensive record of my medical history for personal reference and to ensure the continuity of my healthcare. As a resident of Utah, I am aware of my rights under the Utah Medical Records Act, which guarantees individuals the right to access their medical records. According to the law, healthcare providers are required to provide the requested records within 30 days of receiving a formal request. I kindly request that you provide me with the following information from my medical records: 1. Diagnosis and treatment information: I would like a detailed account of all diagnoses I have received and the corresponding treatments or medications administered. 2. Laboratory and test results: Please include all results from laboratory tests, radiographs, x-rays, MRI scans, and any other diagnostic procedures that have been performed. 3. Progress notes: Please provide all progress notes and summaries documented by healthcare professionals during my visits, including any recommendations or modifications to my treatment plan. 4. Surgical reports: If I have undergone any surgical procedures, I request copies of the surgical reports and related documents. 5. Immunization records: Please include a complete record of all immunizations I have received, including dates and types of vaccinations. 6. Allergies and adverse reactions: Please provide information about any known allergies or adverse reactions I have experienced in the past, as this is crucial for avoiding potential complications or adverse effects during future treatments. 7.
