Medical Record Requests
Seven Hills Anesthesia contracts with hospital systems and surgery centers to provide anesthesia care. The care our anesthesia team provides is documented on the facility’s paper records and/or electronic healthcare record system. The anesthesia record is a part of the patient record that is owned and maintained by the facility where the patient received their surgical care.
Seven Hills Anesthesia does not own or maintain any patient records, and we are unable, legally, to share a patient’s record. If a patient is looking for their anesthesia medical record, the patient must request that record from the facility where they received care.
Seven Hills Anesthesia can only provide an itemized list of billed anesthesia services. Below is a comparison of billing records and medical records to assist patients in determining who to contact for the appropriate records.
