Requestors should be prepared to complete the Records Release Authorization Form and provide a copy of government-issued photo ID, as required by the HIPAA laws. The fastest way to process requests for copies of medical records is to visit Cariend’s website and submit your contact information. You will then be sent an email with instructions to securely upload your authorization form and ID
