1. How can I get a copy of my medical records?

a. If the records are for your doctor who is not located in the RCRMC building, you need to complete the Authorization for RCRMC to Send Records. You can fax the completed request to (951) 486-5075.

b. If the records are for an insurance company, attorney, etc., you need to complete the authorization they provide you. They will work with you to determine which dates and records they need to review on your behalf.

c. If the records are for yourself, you need to complete the Authorization for Patient to Access Their Medical Record. You will need to pay a $10 access fee to start the process. Copying charges are 25 cents per page or 50 cents per page if on microfilm. Your records will be available in approximately five to seven working days. Patients who are seen in acute mental health will have their acute mental health physician contacted for approval of the release of records.

2. I am taking care of the patient’s affairs. How can I get a copy of his/her records?

a. If you have Power of Attorney for Healthcare Decisions you can attach a copy of it to a completed authorization. The process will be the same as above.

b. If you are the parent of a child less than 18 years old, you must complete the proper authorization mentioned above. If your son or daughter is 18 years old or older, they must complete the authorization.

We mail medical record copies. If the patient is at the doctor’s office or in an emergency room, we will stat fax records with a valid authorization.

We are currently keeping them for 30 years.
