Amend a Medical Record
If you believe that the information found in your medical record is incorrect, you can request a change to your record. To request a change, follow these steps:
- Download the form, fill it out completely and return it to us
- Be sure to indicate which Baptist Health facility is involved with the amendment
- Submit this information via email to: BHSPatientAmendment@bhsi.com
- Your request will be reviewed by a designated healthcare professional
Responses are typically provided within 60 days of the request. However, the time period can be extended once for an additional 30 days if the reviewer provides a written statement of reasons for the delay and an expected date when the decision about the request will be made to the individual making the request.
If a request is denied, the individual making the request will receive a written denial letter that identifies the reason for denial, as well as information on how to formally disagree with that decision.
If a request is accepted, the record will be amended and the individual will be notified.
