Medical Records Storage Services

Offsite storage provides a place to store medical files that have not met their retention dates or that need to be available for retrieval or backup.

Our monitored, secure storage facilities protect your documents from being lost or stolen. You can limit access to your files and set different levels of security for your files as needed. You can rest easy knowing your documents are safe with Record Nations Lexington.

Medical Records Custodian

When a healthcare facility closes in Lexington, a person or company should be appointed as the custodian to manage the patient records. Each state has different rules and guidelines for how long a record needs to be stored.

Custodians of medical records can store physical copies in a secure storage facility or scan the documents and store them electronically using an EMR system. With either option, patient records must be readily available upon request. Failure to produce forms could result in fines or penalties.

Record Nations Lexington can help you find a local provider to manage your records, release needed information and destroy the records after the retention period.
