How do I request my military medical records?

Direct answer: Complete a Request Pertaining to Military Records (SF-180) and submit it to the organization listed on the form, or request records in person at your last military hospital or clinic.

Applies to: All TRICARE plans · All regions

Details

If you received care at military hospitals or clinics and your Service Treatment Records don’t contain sensitive information, they may also be viewable through the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal. Requests must include proper authorization and release from the beneficiary — be ready to provide your full name, sponsor’s Social Security number, DoD ID number, and the place and dates of your last treatment. Archived records should be requested from the specific facility where you received care.

What to do next

Confirm this with your Primary Care Manager or regional contractor before scheduling — rules can vary by region and by service.
