Health Information Management

When a child is injured or ill, paperwork is often the last thing on a parent’s mind. That’s why South Lake Pediatrics staff is always here to help assist you with your medical records needs. From finding the proper forms to facilitating medical record transfers, we’ll guide you through every step and make the process as simple and convenient as possible.

How you can help:

Please complete your portion of any health, daycare, camp or sports form before dropping it off at our office and allow two weeks for turnaround.

If a minor’s records are to be sent to another clinic or an insurance company, the legal guardian of the patient must first complete our Release of Medical Information Form. You may choose to mail it, fax it or drop it off at any of our four locations. We can only release records that were created during your visit here at South Lake Pediatrics. All patients 18 years of age and older must complete their own form.

If you have any questions, please contact us.
