All patients have rights when it comes to their medical information. The Health Information Management (HIM) department at UT Health San Antonio maintains the confidentiality of all patient records. They also help you request and receive your medical documents.
Medical records are private health information that cannot be shared with anyone or any organization without the patient's permission or the permission of someone allowed to act for the patient (unless authorized or required by law).
Questions? Contact Health Information Management at 210-450-9760.
