Medical Records

The Center for Health Care Services (CHCS) provides release of information services for patients (or their parents/legally authorized representative) who request copies of their medical records from CHCS.

Requests for medical records are not handled by staff at CHCS clinics. Requests for medical records will be handled by contract staff with MRO Corp.

MRO staff are located at the CHCS Central Office located at 6800 Park Ten Blvd., Suite 200-S, San Antonio, TX 78213. Hours of Operation: Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.

This form must be filled out completely and signed or the processing of your request may be delayed. Any information such as deadlines, attorney information, special instructions, etc. must be written on the form and copies of supporting documents attached.
