While most information involved common sense, there were a lot of interesting ideas in obtaining medical records that I did not know. For example, I've sent requests before that were not returned, my follow up letters did not include language indicating that this was the 2nd or 3rd attempt. They certainly will now.

This was incredibly basic; I have paralegals who could not only teach this class, but give additional insight.

Useful and practical information.

Process and procedures important.

Tips on how to send additional requests until the information is received.

They did an excellent job of breaking down the process.

Well done.

Portals may be a great way to obtain medical records faster without getting so many excuses from providers

The presenters did an excellent job and I learned new efficiencies on obtaining medical records.

Well done helpful information.
