Records and Documentation

Medical Records Request Guides

These pages help you request complete medical documentation after a crash. Use them to gather records from each provider type and keep your claim file organized.

How to Request Records

A complete medical-record packet is one of the most important claim documents after a crash. Start requests early and track every provider separately.

  • Request records from every treating provider, not just one clinic.
  • Ask for itemized billing, imaging reports, and chart notes in one request.

  • Ask for imaging reports and lab results linked to the crash visit.
