Medical Records
General Records
Updated June 20, 2024:
We have seen a recent update on the Patient Care Ombudsman website for former Compass Medical patients regarding medical records. In a letter dated May 24, 2024, from the Patient Ombudsman to former Compass Medical patients, it says that patient medical records are now available from Steward Medical Group (SMG). Steward is now the permanent custodian of all former Compass Medical patient records.
If you still need your medical records from Compass Medical, we wanted to pass along this link to the patient letter. The letter has information about how to request your medical records from Steward Medical Group and have them sent to Atrius Health or other providers. Click to view this letter.
Please note when completing the SMG Authorization to Use and Disclose Protected Health Information form to send your medical record to Atrius Health, please use the address below:
Atrius Health – Transferred Records Health Information Department
1177 Providence Highway
Norwood, MA 02062
Imaging Records
It will be very helpful to your provider now at Atrius Health to have access to your past imaging studies, particularly if you are in active care for a condition which is being monitored with ongoing imaging. Please note imaging studies (x-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs, CT, as well as all breast imaging) are not part of the general medical record release process noted above. Imaging records need to be separately requested from the facility where those imaging studies were completed.
If you had images taken as a Compass patient at one of their facilities between June 2022 and June 2023, they used a radiology partner called Jefferson Radiology for most on-site imaging. Please see the Jefferson Radiology release forms for different types of imaging below. Please complete the appropriate release form and email the authorization form to Atrius Health at imagerequest@atriushealth.org so that our practice can be authorized to access your prior imaging studies taken within the 12 month period noted above with Jefferson Radiology.

If your imaging studies were taken at another facility (such as a local hospital), you can contact those facilities to request that imaging studies are released to you to then share with your Atrius Health provider.
