Complete medical records are maintained for all MSU Campus Health Services patients. Information in student medical records is confidential, and access to them is restricted to authorized Campus Health Services personnel. Medical information is released to a parent or non-medical personnel only if the student gives written consent. Other restrictions may apply. For more details about what information can be released contact the medical records department at 517-353-9153 or email your question to UHW.medrec@msu.edu.
We are located in Olin Health Center in Room 146.
How to Obtain Your Medical Records
Requests can be made in person by stopping by the medical records office in Olin Health Center, Room 146. Proper identification is required to be given copies of your record. Additionally, you may send a request in writing by completing the authorization for healthcare disclosure form. Completed forms can be faxed directly to the medical records department at 517-432-9460.
We are required to obtain your signature with a request for your records; therefore, requests must be made in writing via fax, mail, in person, or through MyHealth secure email.
Our patient portal, MyMSUHealth, can be used to pay bills, check appointment times, contact your medical provider, and much more.
For those who wish to give their parents’ permission to obtain copies or discuss their medical information, we request that a student come to the medical records department after their visit to sign an authorization form to release information to a parent. The release of information can be for all records or for specific visits; the student will need to indicate this when giving permission to release records.
For your convenience, we now offer the AthenaPatient app to access your MyHealth patient portal for Apple and Android devices. The AthenaPatient app can be downloaded from your favorite app store.
Transferring Medical Records
We will gladly transfer your medical information to your next health care provider at no charge to you if you provide us with a completed authorization form. If you would like a hard copy of your record, then there may be a charge. That charge is based on the number of pages in your record.
We follow the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) for the release of medical records. HIPAA allows 30-days for the completion of the medical records release process, but most are usually completed within a two-week
In most cases, it is helpful to have your medical information transferred to Campus Health Services, so your provider knows exactly what medication or treatment was prescribed. Simply stop by the Medical Records department and complete the release form; be sure to bring your provider’s address or fax number. Additionally, you may fill out the release form online and send it to us via email at UHW.medrec@msu.edu and we will send the form. If you need further assistance, you can call the medical records department at 517-353-9153.

Immunization Records
We only have immunization records for immunizations given within the state of Michigan and entered into the Michigan Automated Prescribing System. MSU does not require you to submit the immunization records you had prior to arriving on campus, only to enter them in the self-report system. If you wish to update your Campus Health Services Immunizations, please submit immunization records to your provider vis the patient-portal.
