New Collection. Although we would try to use DD Form 2870 to request records from civilian facilities as well, experience tells us that most civilian facilities would
require that their own specific facility's HIPAA-compliant Records Request form would need to be used. In such cases we would obtain the specific form from the facility, have it signed by the registry participant, then submit it to the facility. As this process would be on a case-by-case basis, it is impossible to know which facilities would have provided care and therefore which forms would need to be used.
