Hospital-Based Physicians

Midland Memorial wants you to be well informed about your healthcare coverage. When you access services at a network hospital or facility, you may receive care or services from hospital-based physicians in addition to your primary care or treating physician who will bill you separately from the hospital. Anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists and emergency room physicians are examples of hospital based physicians.

In some cases, a hospital-based physician may decide not to participate or contract with the same insurance companies as Midland Memorial Hospital. The following link contains a list of hospital based physicians who have been granted medical staff privileges at Midland Memorial Hospital along with their office phone numbers. As a patient, you may wish to contact applicable provider offices directly to ask questions regarding your insurance and any amounts you may owe as a part of your deductible or co-insurance.

Medical Records

The purpose of Release of Information is to provide copies of patient records to various requesters (i.e. patients, attorneys, insurance companies, etc.) for varied reasons.

When writing to obtain copies of records, please provide us with the following information:

1. The patient’s name at treatment
2. Patient’s date of birth
3. Patient’s Social Security number
4. The date(s) of treatment
5. Exact information from the date(s) of treatment
6. Where the information should be sent
7. Purpose of request
8. Sign and date the request
9. Contact number
10. Copy of photo ID

Please do not send requests for information or confidential information via e-mail. We cannot honor e-mail requests because a signature is required to release medical information.

The Release of Information will not provide records without a written request by the patient, the parent of a minor patient, or a legal representative. After the request is received, Release of Information should provide an answer in 15 working days. Copies of records are faxed only for emergency medical treatment (i.e. patient is in the Emergency Room or in Labor & Delivery).

There are fees to obtain copies of records. These fees must be paid prior to records being mailed to the requester. When a request is received, Release of Information will send the requester an invoice stating the fee for copies. The fees for copying records are set by the State of Texas and are reviewed for changes annually.

What Are Advance Directives?

A living will, health care proxy and durable power of attorney—are the legal documents that allow you to give direction to medical personnel, family, and friends concerning your future care when you cannot speak for yourself. You do not need a lawyer in order to complete Advance Directives.

For more information about Advance Directives or to obtain forms, please ask your nurse to contact the social services department.

You may reach the social services department directly by dialing one of the following extensions:

Main Campus  6616
West Campus  3542

Advance Directives

Patient Services Advance Directives

You have the right to make decisions about your own medical treatment. These decisions become more difficult if, due to illness or a change in mental condition, you are unable to tell your doctor and loved ones what kind of health care treatments you want. That is why it is important for you to make your wishes known in advance.

Here is a brief description of each kind of Directive:

Living Will
A set of instructions documenting your wishes about life-sustaining medical care. It is used if you become terminally ill, incapacitated, or unable to communicate or make decisions. A living will protects your rights to accept or refuse medical care and removes the burden for making decisions from your family, friends, and medical professionals.

Health Care Proxy
A person (agent) you appoint to make your medical decisions if you are unable to do so. Choose someone you know well and trust to represent your preferences. Be sure to discuss this with the person before naming them as your agent. Remember that an agent may have to use their judgment in the event of a medical decision for which your wishes aren’t known.

Durable Power of Attorney
For health care: A legal document that names your health care proxy. Once written, it should be signed, dated, witnessed, notarized, copied, and put into your medical record.
For finances: You may also want to appoint someone to manage your financial affairs when you cannot. A durable power of attorney for finances is a separate legal document from the durable power of attorney for health care. You may choose the same person for both, or choose different people to represent you.

Patient Advocate

Chaplaincy Department

Recognizing the importance of spiritual care in the healthcare setting, Midland Memorial Hospital is deeply committed to providing appropriate ministry to our patients, their family members and friends, as well as the hospital staff.

The Chaplaincy Services Department values the important relationship that a patient may have with their own minister, church congregation, or faith group. With the appropriate permission, the Chaplaincy Office will contact the patient's pastor, church, or denominational representative in order to properly minister to the spiritual needs of the patient and family. In addition, volunteer chaplains may visit with you during your stay.

Located at the main campus of Midland Memorial Hospital, the Chaplaincy Services Office is open from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. To request chaplaincy services, please call (432) 685-1566, or you may ask your nurse for assistance. You can also contact the Chaplaincy Office by e-mail at david.harwood@midland-memorial.com
