Medical Records

(800) 349-7026

Each patient of the Choctaw Nation Health Services Authority has a unique medical chart which provides a detailed record of health care services provided over the years. When a patient first visits one of our clinics, the registration professional must create a new medical chart. This process usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. To assemble a chart, the patient must supply the following documents:

•  Certificate Degree of Indian Blood card (CDIB), or letter of Descendancy, or Tribal Membership card from a federally recognized tribe.
•  Social Security Card
•  Photo Identification Card (Driver’s License)
•  Passport (if available) • Current Insurance Information such as Medicare, Medicaid, or Private Insurance

For children under 19 years of age, the following documents are required:

• Child’s CDIB or, if the child has not yet obtained a CDIB, a copy of either parent’s CDIB
• State issued Birth Certificate or Hospital Birth Record issued by an Indian Health Service or Tribal Facility.

All medical charts are property of Choctaw Nation. Patients can obtain a copy of their information by requesting it from the Medical Records Department at the Health Care Center or a clinic. All requests must be in writing and sufficient information to identify the patient requesting the record must be provided.
