The following are procedures for copying and faxing medical records:

1. All medical records requested by a health care provider for the purpose of continuity of care are free of charge.
2. An entire medical record requested by a student for any purpose will cost a customary fee of $0.50 per page. This fee must be paid prior to the receipt of records.
3. Students requesting medical records must first consent by completing a release of information form.
4. All students requesting records must provide proper identification and specify the date of service or reason for the request.
5. All records being faxed will be preceded by a complete cover sheet including the requestor's name. A copy of the fax will be filed in the student's medical record.

Prior to May 2012, medical records are maintained for all students. Records include health information provided by the student as part of the health center admissions process and information regarding any subsequent contact (examination, treatment) a student has at the health center. All medical records are kept confidential.

Records are kept in the Student Health Center during the time that the student is actively enrolled on the KU Medical Center campus and for one year after graduation or discontinuation of course work.

One year after graduation or discontinuation of course work, records are moved to Underground Vaults storage facility. Student Health Services and Underground Vaults follow strict guidelines to ensure the transition and storage of medical records is absolutely confidential.

Ten years after graduation or discontinuation of course work, records are obtained from Underground Vaults for destruction by shredding. Shredding is performed via a university-contracted company that specializes in confidential shredding and destruction of records. All destroyed records are logged at the time of disposal.

Confidentiality statement: All medical information within the medical record is the property of the patient. This information is considered confidential and will not be released to anyone other than the patient or a health care provider for the purpose of continuity of care.
