How do you get a deceased persons medical records?
Only the direct or immediate legal next of kin can request a deceased person's medical records. You will likely be asked to provide proof of relationship (such as birth certificate of an adult child) and the death certificate (such as the parent). You would need the person's "identifying information" such as Social Security number, hospital/patient number, date(s) of service, etc. Even when researchers seek medical records for genealogical purposes, the "proof" of relationship and even a reason for the request must be submitted before the request is approved or denied. Call the administration or medical records department for their exact policies.

However, you may need to provide proof of your relationship and may be required to fill out certain forms or provide documentation to the healthcare provider or institution. It is best to contact the healthcare provider directly to understand their specific requirements.
