How long do we have access to our records in the Record Grabber portal.: g do we have access to our records in the Record Grabber portal. You will have access to your records in the Record Grabber portal forever. After 90 days, all records are moved out of the Dashboard into the Archived Request folder but you will still have access to those documents.
What information is needed to make a request?: Patient information: first name, last name, date of birth, the last 4 of their ssn Provider information: provider name, provider city, provider state Documents: a completed HIPAA compliant release form
What if I don't have a date of service?: That's no problem! When making the request, put "All" in the date of service field and we'll retrieve all records for your requested client.
Can we use our HIPAA Release form instead of the one provided by Record Grabber?: Absolutely. No problem there.
If we request x-rays, how do we receive those?: They will most likely be sent to us on a CD and we will mail that CD to you.
Can Record Grabber retrieve records that need subpoenas?: If you provide the subpoena, we can retrieve the records.
How are the provider fees paid?: We cover the provider fees up front. Once the records have been received, uploaded into the Record Grabber portal, and the request has been closed out, we charge them back to you.
How can Record Grabber be sure they are getting me the best rate on provider fees?: We keep up with the various state statutes controlling how much can be charged for medical records. If a record is going to cost more than $200, we will put the request on hold and ask for approval on those fees.
What if the records are incorrect once we receive them?: Just let your Account Manager know and we will get the correct records for you.
What is the cost of one record retrieval request?: Our fee is $35 per request. See more pricing information.
