If you look through the archived posts on this blog, you’ll see many posts about our processes and procedures for retrieving medical records for your clients. We retrieve a lot of medical records because their retrieval requires adherence to complicated and strict legal protocols. For such a time-consuming process, it makes sense to outsource the records retrieval process to experts like The Records Company. We know how to navigate all the red tape and get records fast, saving you time and money.
The process for retrieving medical records gets complex because medical records are private information that can only be released to the individuals who own the records or their legally designated representatives. However, even if a record is “public,” that doesn’t guarantee fast or easy access. If you’re already using The Records Company to retrieve private records—such as medical or educational records—we can also help with your other records retrieval needs. We handle liens, school records, business records, billing records, court records. For personal injury and insurance claims, we often retrieve employment records, emergency medical service (EMS) billing records, police reports, coroner’s reports, and autopsy information. In short, if the information you need has been recorded anywhere, we can find it.
What’s in Public Records
Some records that are public in one state might be private in another, but in general, they include birth and death certificates, marriages, divorces, criminal records, real estate holdings, court records, bankruptcies, liens and some others. Databases and background search services abound to provide full names, family relations, past and present addresses, telephone numbers, and other basic information, but more specialized records require more than Google. As experts in all forms of records retrieval, The Records Company knows how to quickly and easily retrieve public records as well as private ones.
Chasing Paper
Court records, liens, police reports, and similar records are often public record (it varies by state), but retrieving them takes more than a wink and a smile. You still have to search for what you want, request copies of the records once you find them, and pay administrative fees. If your firm doesn’t have staff designated for performing these types of tasks, this means your team is taking time away from other obligations to pursue these records searches. Even if you do have staff available, their time may be better spent on other tasks. Even for retrieval of public records and non-medical private records, The Records Company can save your team valuable time and energy with our specialized expertise. You only need to login to our online portal and submit your request for whatever kind of record you need, and we take it from there.
