- A copy of the current hospital chart from the time of admission and a transfer summary as well as the maternal chart if this is a neonatal patient.
- Copies of all radiologic studies including MRI and CT scans, X-rays or barium studies.
- Copies of all consults and subspecialty reports, EKGs, EEGs, surgical reports, pathology reports and slides.
- Four copies of the patient face sheet that contains demographic and insurance information.
