MEDICAL  RECORDS  REQUEST

Request Medical Records: Current & Past Clients

​

Current Clients: The Client Portal is a convenient, fast, and easy way to access your medical records online. ​Current clients will be able to access medical records through the portal once registered. If you need additional records or help with a Release of Information (ROI) request, any member of your care team can assist you.

​

Past Clients: Clients who are no longer receiving services from Ryther will not have access to medical records through the Client Portal. If you need a copy of your records, please submit a signed written request to Health Information Administration by mail, fax, or email. If you live in the area, you may also visit Ryther and ask the front desk for assistance.
