In response to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA)
of 1996, physicians have been faced with greater complexities when releasing medical records. In an effort to protect patient confidentiality, as well as comply with government regulations, Sterling Family Practice has developed policies and procedures to insure that your confidential medical records are handled in
a manner meeting all necessary guidelines.

Medical Records will be released only upon written request from the patient. Written requests must be in accordance with the Uniform Health Care Information Act.

Sterling Family Practice will only release records that were created and maintained by our doctors and clinic. Medical records are provided by a third party (Ciox Health).  Click here for medical record request form.
