We make it easy for your patients to access their records after you retire

If you are a retiring doctor, you’re probably wondering what to do with all the patient files you’ve accumulated over the years. You are legally obligated to select a records custodian, but how can you know who to trust with this important responsibility? When you choose My Retired Doctor, you can rest assured that your patients’ medical records are in good hands. We offer the following advantages to patients of retiring doctors.

Accessibility

The number one reason to choose My Retired Doctor as your medical records custodian is that we make it easy for patients to access the vital information contained in their medical records. If you choose another doctor or a hospital as your records custodian, your patients might face delays in getting their paperwork, not to mention confusion in figuring out exactly who to contact and when they can be reached. With My Retired Doctor, however, all your patients have to do is get online and place their records request. They can do this at any time, night or day, and we’ll begin processing the request immediately. Your patients will be able to get their records in a timely fashion so that their new doctor can get a complete picture of their medical history and be prepared to provide the best possible care. We can also accept requests from patients who are not internet savvy over the phone.

Privacy?

My Retired Doctor is a division of a professional medical records retrieval company with over 20 years of experience. We are completely familiar with HIPAA and we maintain the highest standards of privacy and security in all of our activities. We can guarantee that your patient files will be held in a secure environment and only released on request of qualified parties.

Digital Records

Digital records are a huge convenience for patients in terms of speed and privacy of delivery, but your office may or may not have utilized an electronic system. When you choose My Retired Doctor as your medical records custodian, we can actually transform your paper files into digital ones. Because we have strict quality control standards for the scanning process, this enables us to provide your patients with clear and legible electronic copies of their medical records in a timely manner.

Assistance with Other Records

My Retired Doctor can actually help your patients retrieve all their medical records, not just ones held by your office. For example, we can help them get files straight from a specialist they may have seen or from a hospital they may have visited for an operation. By connecting your patients with us now, you can actually do them a huge favor because they can continue to use our records retrieval process for all kinds of things, even after they’ve retrieved their medical records from your office.
