Medical records request

Request your medical records from HCA Healthcare

HCA Healthcare hospitals share a centralized records operation. Patients can use the MyHealthONE portal, an online request tool, or mail and fax a signed authorization. The portal and the national phone and fax lines are the same across HCA’s hospital brands.

Details can change — confirm the destination on the official page before you mail anything.

Make sure it's the right one. HCA runs ~180 hospitals under local brands (HCA Florida, HCA Houston, TriStar, HCA Midwest, and more). The phone, fax, and portal are national, but the exact PO Box depends on which regional service center serves your hospital — confirm yours on the official page.
