The Desert Mountain Children’s Center maintains medical records in a secure manner and are released only with a completed authorization form and only to:
- A client requesting their behavioral health medical records; or
- A recognized entity with a legal right to review the contents.
Consumers may request a copy of their behavioral health medical records with a properly completed records request. Requests that are not appropriately signed and/or filled out completely will not be processed. A fee may be applied to a specific request but will be communicated with the requestor prior to charging. Minor children between the ages of 12 and 17 may need to sign their own authorization. A designated staff member will review the records request and determine if the medical record, part of the medical record, and/or a treatment summary can be released. If you have any questions, please contact our office at (760) 955-3601.
