My Retired Doctor makes the transition to retirement easier for doctors and patients

If you’re a doctor who’s about to retire, you have a mountain of tasks ahead of you, including final visits with all of your patients and the legwork necessary to get them and their medical records happily transferred to new physicians. Plus, you’ll need to figure out what to do with your copies of the medical records. My Retired Doctor can help with both the patient records transfer and records storage portions of the equation. Here are 5 reasons to choose us as your official records custodian.

This Is All We Do

When deciding who to entrust with your patient records, you may have several options. If you have partners in your practice or are selling your practice to a new doctor, you might leave the records in their care. Or, you might send your files to a hospital or clinic that offers storage and custodial services. Either way, your patient records will be an afterthought for that person or business. When you choose My Retired Doctor, however, your records will not be an afterthought but instead our top priority. We handle medical records storage and retrieval exclusively. This is our business, and we take it seriously!

We Have Secure Records Storage

At My Retired Doctor, we house all paper records you may entrust us with in a secure facility. We control access so that no authorized individuals get anywhere near the records. This is very different than what you might see at a physician practice where records might be kept in an open reception area.

We Have Scanning Capabilities

We offer high-quality scanning services to transform your paper records into digital files. This can be done prior to storage to save on costs, or on a case by case basis to fulfil patient requests.

We Comply with All HIPAA Requirements

At My Retired Doctor, we have a full understanding of all the HIPAA requirements that pertain to personal medical records. We maintain the highest standards of privacy for your former patients, and all records transfer and release activities are conducted in compliance with the law.

We Provide Easy Records Access for Patients

One final reason to choose us as your medical records custodian is that we provide a convenient and simple record ordering experience for your former patients. Because we have a web portal as well as a phone line for taking requests, your patients can place their records orders any time, day or night, and receive a timely response. They can even choose whether to receive their records in paper format or as a secure digital download.
