FAQs

Can my images be sent electronically?

Your images can be shared with the requesting facility through a shared link (Nuance PowerShare Network). This request must come from the requesting provider/facility. We cannot share through email.

Who can pick up my reports/images?

Records can be released to someone other than the patient. The person picking up the records must have a Release of Information signed by the patient, along with THEIR ID- not the patient’s. The released to portion of the authorization must include the person’s picking up the medical records or images name and address.

Can I see my images in MyChart?

Yes, you can view images and reports directly in MyChart.

I need my images overnighted - how do I get this done?

UMMC will overnight imaging by FedEx if provided a FedEx number by the requestor.
