Send your medication list to another provider

Send your medication list to another provider

You can share your medication list with another provider when you are seeing a specialist, transferring care, following up after discharge, requesting a referral, or asking an outside clinician to review your medication plan.

Depending on the receiving provider, you may be able to use portal sharing, linked records, a one-time access link, a printed PDF, or a formal release of information request.

Best first step: Ask the receiving provider how they prefer to receive medication records: portal link, fax, secure email, printed copy, or formal records release.
Patient warning, taped under the referral window:
“I sent the list but not the stopped page. The new doctor kept asking why I was still taking it. I wasn't. The paper made it look alive.”

Quick summary

  • Confirm where the medication list should be sent before sending it.
  • Download and review the list first so old or duplicate medications are not shared as active.
  • Linked records may work if the outside provider participates in the same exchange or portal network.
  • Formal release may be needed for official copies or third-party requests.
  • Brookhaven-related information may require extra authorization.
  • Do not use records sharing for urgent medication instructions.

Sharing options

Linked recordsThe receiving provider can view participating organization records.

Brookhaven authorizationSensitive behavioral health, substance-use treatment, or proxy-limited information may be included.

Before sending

  • Review whether the list shows active, stopped, temporary, or historical medications.
  • Confirm recent discharge medications from Alchemilla or Brookhaven.
  • Check whether the list includes supplements, vitamins, and over-the-counter medication.
  • Look for duplicate brand and generic entries.
  • Confirm whether Brookhaven information should be included.
  • Ask the receiving provider whether they need allergies, reactions, or pharmacy information too.

Outside provider details

If you are asking Silent Hill Health to send a medication list directly, you may need the receiving provider’s full name, clinic name, address, phone number, fax number, secure email, or portal destination.

Do not send medication records to an unknown personal email unless you understand the privacy risks and the records office confirms that method is allowed.

Brookhaven and sensitive records

Brookhaven medications may be part of the ordinary medical record, but some related behavioral health or substance-use treatment information may require additional authorization before it can be shared with another provider.

If a Brookhaven medication is missing from a shared list, ask whether it is in a linked Brookhaven record, restricted view, medication history, discharge instructions, or a record type that needs separate authorization.

FAQ

Can I send only the medication list?

Yes. Ask for the medication list only if the receiving provider does not need a larger record packet.

Can Brookhaven medications be included?

Often yes, but some related behavioral health or substance-use information may require additional authorization.

Is this for urgent medication questions?

No. Call the care team, pharmacy, urgent care, or emergency services if the issue affects the next dose or your safety.
