EMS Reports

To obtain a copy of an EMS/Ambulance Report please contact the South Elgin & Countryside Fire Protection District at 847-741-2141.

EMS or Medical Reports are restricted in disclosure in accordance with HIPAA.  In order to obtain a complete copy of a report you must demonstrate proof of the following:

• You are the patient listed on the EMS Report. Picture ID is required and you must sign in person for the report after showing proper identification.
• We are not permitted to fax an EMS Report.  This restriction is in place in order to comply with the HIPAA legislation.
• If the patient is a minor,  you are the legal custodian of an elderly person, or other circumstance, you must provide legal documentation for our review.
• An EMS Report may also be obtained by a court order, or by providing legal authorization through a law firm representing you as a client.
• We are unable to release health information over the phone, by email, fax, or other electronic methods as these are unsecure networks that may be accessible to others.
