Medical record amendments

A formal request to amend your record may include incorrect test results, removing references to illnesses that are not accurate, and correcting errors within the record (left arm surgery versus right arm surgery). What would not be an amendment would be additions to your record or changes/updates that naturally fluctuate (such as current medications, weight, etc…), those requests should be made directly through your physician.

For all formal requests to amend your medical record, please download the above form and email to integratedriskandprivacyops@highmarkhealth.org or mail to:
