Request your Medical Records

Medical Records

You have the right to inspect and copy medical information that may be used to make decisions about your care. Usually, this includes medical and billing records.

To inspect and copy medical information that may be used to make decisions about you, you must submit your request in writing to the East Jefferson General Hospital Health Information Management Department:

4200 Houma Boulevard
Metairie, LA, 70006

or

East Jefferson Physician Network
4200 Houma Boulevard
Metairie, LA, 70006

You do not have to provide any justification to exercise this right. If you request a copy of your health information, East Jefferson General Hospital may charge a fee for the costs of copying, mailing or other expenses associated with your request.

We may deny your request to inspect and copy in certain very limited circumstances. If you are denied access to your health information you may appeal the denial. Your appeal will be considered by a licensed health care professional chosen by East Jefferson General Hospital and not previously involved in the denial of your original request for inspection and copy.

East Jefferson General Hospital will abide by the decision of the appeal reviewer.
