Request Medical Records Through MyChart

Existing patients who have signed up for MyChart may log in to view medical records. If you recently had an appointment, please review your After-Visit Summary to find an activation code and instructions on how to access your MyChart account.

If you are unable to locate the activation code or need assistance, please visit our MyChart page at lanermc.org/mychart or email or call MyChart Patient Support at MyChartsupport@fmolhs.org, 225-765-5727, or Toll Free: 888-888-6608.

Medical records will be available through MyChart beginning with 3/1/2024 visits. From your MyChart Menu select “Sharing Hub” and select the appropriate box to share your health information with.

Patients and proxies can request records through their MyChart account for records starting 3/1/2024. Requests can only be for yourself, as the records are delivered through MyChart. Images and pathology slides cannot be requested in this manner. Any other requests must be made by completing an Authorization for Release of Health Information Form. 

If your relative has expired, you can ask for copies of their medical records if:

1. You are the power of attorney for health care that goes beyond the patient’s death, or you are the administrator of the estate. You must provide a copy of the legal document and the death certificate.
2. You are considered an authorized relative if you are the surviving spouse of the patient who has expired. If there is no surviving spouse, you are considered an authorized relative if you are the eldest child, a parent, sibling, or other relative that is named and defined in the Louisiana rules of interstate succession.

To request the medical records of a relative who has expired:

1. Download a release authorization form to allow Lane to release your deceased relative’s information.
2. Send the release authorization form, a certified copy of the administrator of the estate, and a certified copy of the death certificate either in person or by mail to:
   
   Lane Regional Medical Center
   Attn: Medical Records
   6300 Main Street
