Health Information Management

As a way of meeting the mission of providing high quality healthcare to our community, the Health Information Management (HIM) department maintains your health records so they are available when your healthcare provider needs them.   Every encounter a patient has with the hospital, whether an overnight stay, day hospital, an emergency room visit or a simple x-ray, results in a record that must be processed, coded for reimbursement and maintained.   In addition to managing records, the HIM department provides information to State and Federal agencies as required. 

In order to protect the privacy of our patients and to comply with all HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requirements, Lake City Community Hospital has adopted procedure for obtaining medical records.  All HIPAA guidelines will be followed with release of patient information.   

 If you are requesting records for personal use there is a $15.00 charge. You will be asked to show a Driver’s License or Social Security card for identification purposes and to sign an authorization form.  If you have any questions regarding our procedure and if you need further assistance our staff will be happy to assist you. 

The office is open Monday – Friday, from 8:00am to 4:30pm and we may be reached at 843-374-6174 or fax 843-374-8744.
