Medical Records/Health Information
Q. How secure are my medical records?
A. Security of your medical records is top priority at Falls Memorial Hospital. Every effort is made to protect the contents. Information is released after verifying proper authorization. State and Federal laws are very strict regarding inappropriate release of information from your medical record.
Q. What do I need to do to get copies of my medical records?
A. Your medical records are confidential and cannot be released without your authorization. If you would like copies, the release of information clerk will ask you to complete a "Release of Information" form. This form will identify who you are, your date of birth, to whom the records are going, why you need your records, and which records you are asking for. The form must be dated and signed by you. You may be asked to provide identification to ensure we are not releasing records to an imposter.
Q. Do I need to come to the hospital to request records?
A. No, you may send a written or a faxed request to the medical records department. The request must identify who you are, where you would like them sent, what records you are asking for and why you need them. Your signature will be authenticated with signatures we have in your medical record to ensure someone other than yourself does not authorize the release.
Q. Can my spouse or another family member sign for release of my records?
A. No, only you can authorize release of your medical records. State, Federal and Falls Memorial Hospital guidelines prohibit anyone else from authorizing release of your medical records.
Q. Will there be a charge?
A. Depending on your need for information from your record, there may be a charge. Please call the release of information clerk at 283-5413 for an answer.
Q. Can I look at my medical records?
A. Yes, you may call medical records at 283-5413 to set up an appointment to view your records. Personnel will be available to assist you.

· Community Care Fund Program
Falls Memorial Hospital designed the Extended Payment Plan and Community Care Fund program to help those who are unable to pay in full. If approved for the Extended Payment Plan, you can make monthly payments. The Community Care Fund program is made possible by the hospital’s Board of Directors’ commitment to medical care access for all residents of the community.
