How to Request Medical Records
 
 

To receive a copy of your records for yourself, or to have them forwarded to another provider, please complete and sign the OPA Consent to Release Medical Information form.   Your Release of Information is good for one year from the date the release is signed.  A separate Release of Information form is required for each different individual or entity you direct to receive records.

Upon completion please send us the signed form by any of the following means:

 FAX to Attention OPA Records:
907.563.3460 

 E-Mail (scan OPA form and send PDF files only) to:
oparecords@opaak.com.

 Regular Mail (or bring to the office in person):
  Orthopedic Physicians Anchorage - Records
  3801 Lake Otis Parkway, Suite 300
  Anchorage, AK 99508
 
For answers to questions, call OPA Records directly:
907.644.5308

Please allow up to 5 business days to fill your request. Most requests are completed within 48 hours.

When we prepare your records for copying, we will provide only those items that have been generated by our physicians.  The law prohibits medical providers from releasing records that were obtained from other outside offices.

Copy Fees
There is no charge for the first complete copy of records and images (including CD version of X-Rays, MRIs or CT scans).  In addition, there is never a charge to provide copies to other physician offices for the continuation of care.

For additional copies there will be a charge based on the size of the chart.  Additional copies of CD versions are $10.00 per CD regardless of size.
