Medical Records Requests

Your health records at True Physician Care are the property of the practice. However, as a patient you are entitled to have a copy for your records or to send to other healthcare providers.  If you would like records sent to another physician or yourself, please complete the Request for Medical Records.  Allow up to 10 business days for your request to be processed.  Your health records may also be downloaded as a PDF from the Patient Fusion portal.

Per Maryland law, the copy fee for electronic medical records will be $0.76 per page up to a maximum of $80.00 per request, plus the cost of actual postage. Requests from insurance companies, attorneys, or other physicians are subject to the same copy fee as well as a preparation fee of $22.88 and actual cost of postage.  Your records may be delivered via secure email or encrypted thumb drive.  An invoice will be sent to the person or entity requesting the records and records will be sent upon payment.  

Please note that for patients who were patients at Bethesda Physicians prior to seeing Dr. Hwang at True Physician Care, your records prior to September 30, 2022 are also being stored at Desert River Solutions until September 30, 2027.  Therefore, you have the option of requesting your medical records predating October 1, 2022 from Desert River Solutions.
