What happens next?

Compliance reviews your request within 5 business days.
We contact you to verify your identity (we'll ask questions only the patient or their authorized representative would know — never your full SSN by email).
We decide and notify you in writing within 60 days (with one 30-day extension if we notify you before the original deadline).

If we deny your request (§164.526(d)(2))

You have the right to file a written statement of disagreement. We attach your statement to the disputed record so anyone receiving the record sees both sides.

Requesting on behalf of someone else?

Per §164.502(g), a personal representative (parent of a minor, legal guardian, or power of attorney) may request amendment for the patient. We need the patient's full name on the form so we can match it to your authorization on file before we process the amendment.
