KLM takes the request whole, however many patients it covers. We validate the authorization, pull the records, handle the requester, and close it out. Volume spikes are our problem, not a crisis at your front desk.

Handled by KLM

These arrive by fax, email, and phone all week long. Worked in house, they tie up staff time that should be going to patients and clinical duties. Worked by KLM, they take none of your staff's hours and cost your office nothing.

Direct partners. Standing fulfillment relationships, not one-off requests.

We operate under a signed BAA with every client office.

  • Attorney, insurance carrier, and disability record requests
  • Subpoena and litigation record pursuit, including billing and films
  • Requester follow-up and status calls handled entirely by KLM

Data consolidation

Verify and scan, retirement and closure. Paper charts verified, scanned, indexed, and delivered in a format your staff can actually use, including one-time-fee solutions for retiring or closing practices and destruction coordination once retention runs out.

Quoted as a project
Getting started

Two ways to start, and neither one is a commitment.

You do not need a binding contract or a permanent decision about your whole workflow to find out whether this works.

Set up a call with us

Fifteen minutes to look at what your office is actually receiving, what we would take off you, and what stays in house. We will tell you plainly if we are not the right fit.

Or just send us a request

Fax one to (619) 720-2111 or email it to concierge@klmrecords.us and we will work it. Nothing else has to happen first, and you can see how we handle it before you hand off anything more.

And when a requester calls your office, your staff has one sentence. KLM handles this for us, here is their number. That is the whole conversation.

Rather put it in writing? Submit the applicable form below and we will follow up from there.

Compliance

The part you cannot afford to get wrong.

Records leaving your office is a liability question before it is a workload question. When KLM handles a request, that responsibility moves with it.

HIPAA certified agents

Every field agent completes HIPAA certification before handling a chart. Patient authorizations are validated against the request before anything is released.

Fully insured and licensed

KLM carries business insurance and holds California licensure, with a signed BAA on file for every office we serve.

Liability we carry, not you

Every request is logged, tracked, and closed in our system, so you can account for what was released, to whom, and when. KLM takes liable responsibility for the PHI we handle on your behalf.

Contact

Send us one request and see how it goes.

Most offices start by forwarding a single stack of requests. Tell us what is sitting on your desk right now and we will tell you exactly what we would take off it.
