Records transfers and MedVet Chicago
MedVet Chicago keeps your pet's chart, and it releases a copy to another clinic once you authorize it. A complete record includes the exam notes, vaccination and rabies history, lab and imaging results, and the current medications. Confirm with MedVet Chicago whether it wants the records-release request by fax or through its own secure system before you send.

Sending the complete report — not just a summary — lets the next veterinarian read the actual values. Keep the confirmation in case a specialist is waiting on the results.

Faxing to MedVet Chicago — FAQ
The line accepts faxes around the clock; when staff process them depends on the clinic schedule. Staff match faxed documents to a chart during business hours. Send anything tied to an appointment early so it is worked before the visit. A brief follow-up call confirms a time-sensitive fax to MedVet Chicago was seen.
The privacy of a pet's records is handled differently from a person's. The clinic releases a pet's record on the owner's signed request, within its state's practice-act rules. That means the practical step is a signed authorization, not a legal form from a federal agency.
Fax still works for many documents at MedVet Chicago, but not for every one. Lab results from IDEXX or Antech often live in an online portal instead of a fax. Check the clinic's instructions first; if fax is accepted, this page shows how to send it cleanly. Either way, do not assume — the clinic's own instructions are the authority.
Get it from MedVet Chicago directly rather than an old online listing, since clinic numbers change. Use MedVet Chicago's website or your pet's paperwork, then confirm the fax is still monitored. That one verification keeps a medical record out of the wrong hands. Skip the stale listing and confirm the line at the source.
A referral to MedVet Chicago starts with the primary vet forwarding the records. Ask MedVet Chicago's coordinator for the current channel, since a portal may have replaced fax. Send the referral form, history, and diagnostics together as one packet. Keep the transmission confirmation in case you need to show it went through. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
