Who to contact in New Hampshire
- Attorney general consumer protection office
- Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau, New Hampshire Department of Justice. It takes consumer complaints. Its page does not say it handles complaints about health records under HIPAA; those go to the Office for Civil Rights (below).
- Health information exchange
- None. New Hampshire repealed the definition of its health information organization in 2020 (2020 N.H. Laws ch. 37).
- Can you opt out?
- No state law decides this now: rule repealed. No rule in force. The rule we found has been repealed or replaced, or applies to a body that no longer exists. New Hampshire's law gave an opt-out from a 'health information organization'. In 2020 the state repealed that term's definition and the organization's board. We have found no state exchange since. Ask your doctor's office.

Getting a copy in New Hampshire
Yes. New Hampshire law: 14 days, for when the requester is your own health care provider only, and free in some cases. HIPAA, the federal law, gives you that right in all 50 states and DC. The provider has 30 days, plus one 30-day extension, and may charge a cost-based fee. As of October 3, 2026, New Hampshire law adds more: some patients get a copy of their record faster than HIPAA requires, and copies are free in some cases. The faster deadline is 14 days, for when the requester is your own health care provider only.

New Hampshire law on copies, quotedHow to get your medical records
A health information exchange (HIE) is a network that lets doctors, hospitals and labs share patient records with each other.
Start with your provider. If you are refused or get no answer, you can file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If your electronic record is held back, you can report it through the federal Report Information Blocking Portal. See who to contact in the United States.
