Custodian Of Medical Records

What is a Medical Records Custodian?

The medical records custodian is the person or company that has been designated to handle your private healthcare records so that you or your practice can be free of legal obligation and future medical record requests from patients. Each state/country/province has their own guidelines for how long you will need to store your patient records. Patients can contact Morgan Records Management at anytime to get physical or electronic copies delivered to them.

Benefits of a Medical Records Custodian

Document Scanning & Storage — Morgan Records will scan and store all your files for future medical records requests from patients/attorneys/medical facilities.
All requests will be sent to Morgan Records, your custodian of medical records. You will draft a notice for your patients, informing them of how and where to obtain copies of their medical records once the practice is closed. Sounds easy right? It is!

GO PAPERLESS
All medical records are scanned and/or exported, unless in paper format. If you still have physical files, we will scan them and get them into PDF form. If you have an EMR software we are able to export all medical records out of it. From there we will be able to securely store all files under HIPAA guidelines.

YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE WORRY FREE
No need to worry about your medical records. Once we know the exact amount of time your state requires for your medical records to be kept for you, we will be able to close your doors the right way.
