Medical Records - Release of Information
Federal and Massachusetts State law governs who has access to the information contained in your medical records - and the procedure for requesting that information. As a result, all requests for information must be in writing and must be authorized by you.
A patient, or his/her legally authorized representative, may inspect and/or obtain a copy, or have copies of medical records sent to another facility.
Berkshire Medical Center requires a completed and signed written request and authorization for release of health information form before releasing any documents to anyone, including the patient.
To Request a Copy of Your Medical Records
Print and complete the "AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OR DISCLOSURE OF HEALTH INFORMATION" form.
If you have any questions regarding release of medical record information, please call 413-447-2338.
Radiology Films
All diagnostic studies belong to the BHS Radiology Department. To obtain a CD of your images, please come to the Radiology Department on the first floor of Berkshire Medical Center. Federal privacy laws mandate that you bring photo identification with you. If you would like someone other than yourself to either receive or pick up your images on a CD you will need to put their name and address on the release of Information form. They will also need to bring with them a form of identification. For Radiology Film requests, call 413-447-2349, or fax 413-395-7955.
