How to Request Medical Records Online (eRequest)

MUSC Health now offers an Online Patient Record Request tool for the following individuals to request patient records:

• Patients requesting their own records
• Parents of minor patients requesting records
• Caregivers acting on behalf of a patient (i.e. Power of Attorney)

Request medical records via secure website hosted by our release of information partner, Ciox. If you are unable to complete the request online, refer to the additional options to submit your medical records request.

The Online tool verifies your identity by asking for a photo of your driver's license, which can be taken via webcam or smartphone. If the patient is deceased, please make sure to attach a copy of the Certificate of Appointment as the Personal Representative of the estate.

Please note: Chrome, Safari and Firefox are the recommended browsers for this application.
