Who to contact in Oregon
- Attorney general consumer protection office
- Consumer Protection, Oregon 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 found. Oregon Health Authority ended its CareAccord service on March 31, 2018.
- Can you opt out?
- No state law decides this. We searched the state's official law sites and found none. We found no exchange policy either. Ask your doctor's office whether it shares your records through an exchange and how to say no.

Getting a copy in Oregon
Yes. Oregon law: 5 working days, for people served by public providers, including the Oregon State Hospital, Department of Corrections institutions, and community mental health, developmental disabilities, alcoholism and drug addiction programs 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, Oregon 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 5 working days, for people served by public providers, including the Oregon State Hospital, Department of Corrections institutions, and community mental health, developmental disabilities, alcoholism and drug addiction programs only.

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.
