How do I get a copy of, or transfer, my MIT Health medical record?
To request your medical or dental records, visit the MIT Health portal hosted by our health records partner, RecordQuest. The portal is the preferred method of submitting all health records requests. Paper/hard copies will be accepted if necessary, but may result in delays.
Note: You do not need to get a printed copy of your entire medical record if you:
Need to be excused from a class for an exam because of illness. In that case, contact Student Support Services: s3-support@mit.edu.
Want your parents to be involved in your care decisions? If you want your parents involved in your healthcare decision, you can just give your provider permission to discuss a specific episode of care with them.
Are traveling overseas and need a copy of your immunization record. In that case, just request “Immunization Records” on the form.
What should I do if I find something in my medical record that I think needs to be corrected?
If you feel that specific medical information in your record is incorrect:
- Download and complete the Request for Amendment of Protected Health Information form.
- Specify the information you want corrected and sign the form.
- Fax it to 877-962-7236, or mail it to MIT Health Medical Records, E23-023, 77 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA 02139.
- The Medical Records team will notify you when a decision is made about amending your record.
How can I have my medical record from another provider sent to MIT Health?
Contact the clinician or facility where you received care for instructions.
How do I update my emergency contact information?
The first time you register using our online system, we will ask for your emergency contact information. Once you complete the form, you do not need to fill it out again.
After that, you can update who we will contact in case of an emergency in two different ways:
- Use HealthELife. You can change your emergency contact information under personal contacts within the patient information section.
- Ask a patient service representative. Any front-desk patient service representative can update the information on your behalf.
