Here are results for requesting my deceased mother's medical records records.

I scanned the following documents and sent to MAYOHIMSROI@mayo.edu. You can fax or mail the documents if do not have ability to scan.
- Mayo's Authorization to Release Protected Health Information to a Third Parry - signed
- Death certificate
- Power of Attorney signed prior to her death
- State of MN Probate document stating I was Personal Representative of her estate.

Not sure if needed all of them, but decided it was better to send to much then not enough.

Took a month because some if it was at off site storage, but today I received a package with her medical records going back to when she had molars pulled as student nurse in 1951.

I found the info on eye surgery that I needed.

I will now put the stack of paper in box and store incase myself or siblings ever need medical information for their medical care. I have no desire to read all the information, I want to respect her privacy even though she is gone.
