Services:     The Health Information Management Department at Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County maintains and retrieves patients' medical records. Patient Privacy is a priority at MHSC. We take pride in protecting your medical records.


Guidelines for Medical Records Requests:
     All requests for copies of medical records must be received in writing. You must present a photo identification before we will release a copy of your records. If the patient is a minor (less than 18 years of age), a parent or the legal guardian must sign the authorization, also presenting a photo identification. Urgent patient care requests may be faxed to (307)352-8175.


Birth Certificate Copies:
     Copies of birth certificates must be requested through Wyoming Vital Records. Their number is (307)777-7591.


Fees for obtaining Protected Health Information are as follows:
     Copy fees (for patients only). First 10 pages are free, then .10 cents per page for anything above that.

     Microfilm records - $20 retrieval fee, then .25 cents per page.


Except when requested by a physician's office, or in an emergency, all records will be mailed. You may mail your completed authorization form to Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County or fax it to our Health Information Management staff at (307)352-8175. Your records will be ready in approximately 4-8 working days. Please call us if you would like to arrange pick-up of your records.
