— THE PROBLEM
Your Team Shouldn't Have to Chase Records for Weeks.
Hospitals and ERs are the slowest, most inconsistent providers to work with. Between HIPAA processing windows, understaffed medical records departments, and requests that get lost or bounced back for paperwork errors, your paralegals can burn hours chasing a single admission record — while your case sits stalled and your client waits.
What slows your case down
Long HIPAA and records-department processing
windows
Requests lost, delayed, or rejected for paperwork issues
Repeated manual follow-ups from paralegals

Common Questions About Records Retrieval
How fast will I get my records?
Most requests are completed in a matter of days. A portion are returned the same day the request is submitted, depending on the facility's response time.
What's covered under the $100 fee?
The $100 covers one complete request to one facility for one patient's records and billing — from authorization through delivery.
Do you handle both medical and billing records?
Yes. Every request includes both the clinical record and the itemized billing record from that encounter, when available from the provider.
Is this HIPAA compliant?
Yes. All authorizations and transmissions follow HIPAA-compliant processes.
Can I submit multiple requests at once?
Yes — submit as many patient/provider requests as you need; each is billed individually at $100.
