# Medical records request packet by mail

Prepare a medical records request packet, attach authorization or ID files when needed, preview the full PDF, and mail it to the provider or records department.

## Pricing
Pricing

Pricing is based on pages, attachments, print settings, mailing option, and any displayed workflow service fee.


## Fast answer
Use a mailed medical records request packet when the provider asks for a written request, authorization, representative proof, ID, or a specific mailing address.

## Who this is for
Patients, authorized representatives, caregivers, advocates, and anyone organizing a records request that needs a reviewable packet.

## What PostalForm does
PostalForm generates the request packet, appends attachments, lets you preview it, and mails it after checkout.

## What PostalForm does not do
PostalForm does not retrieve records for you, verify identity for the provider, give medical advice, or control provider processing time.

## What you need before starting
- Patient and requester details.
- Provider or records department address.
- Record types and date range.
- Authorization, ID, or representative proof if needed.
- Preferred records-delivery instructions.

## Recommended mailing option
Use Certified Mail when you need proof the provider received or was offered the request. Use First-Class for lower-stakes records requests.

## Proof / tracking explanation
The proof timeline records packet, address, payment, provider submission, provider acceptance, tracking number, and delivery events when available.

## Step-by-step flow
1. Enter patient and requester details.
2. Describe the records requested.
3. Add authorization or support files.
4. Preview the packet.
5. Add mailing addresses.
6. Pay and track status.


## FAQs
- **Will PostalForm receive the records?** No. The provider sends records using its own process.
- **Can I attach an ID copy?** Yes, if you choose to include it.
- **Should I use a portal first?** Use the provider portal when it works and satisfies your need. Mail is useful when a signed packet or proof trail matters.
