Releasing Medical Records

You can reach our Medical Records department at (316) 684-2851 option 7. It is the policy of Primary Care Associates to charge for requested copies of a consumer's medical records. A reasonable fee may include actual costs for copying, labor, mailing, shipping or delivery.
Primary Care Associates may request that the fee be paid prior to release of the information for non-treatment or non-emergent purposes. Copies of records from other health care practitioners contained in Primary Care Associates records may also be made and given upon request. However, we cannot authenticate other provider’s copies we have in our possession. A written release is required prior to releasing any records.
We will not charge a patient for their records when sent ELECTRONICALLY. 
Any release requiring a hard copy will be assessed a charge; please call the office to obtain pricing information.
