Medical Records Information
Stay Current With Care
Medical records are available on MyChart 24 hours/7 days a week. You can access your medical records from any of our Rainy Lake Medical Center locations through Epic MyChart. MyChart also allows you to request a copy of your medical records for yourself or another provider. If your provider uses CareEverywhere, they have the ability to request and review your records from CareEverywhere users. If you are picking up your medical records from RLMC, you must show RLMC patient access staff your government issued ID or passport before they can release the records to you. If you would like your records mailed, emailed or faxed, you are required to send a valid copy of your government issued ID with your request.
