How to Submit a Statement

If you are the subject of a report, you may add or edit a statement at anytime. The subject statement is your opportunity to provide additional information you would like included with the report. However, you cannot modify, correct, or void the report-only the reporting organization listed in Section A of the report may do so.

Your subject statement becomes part of the report and remains with the report unless you edit or remove it. The statement is sent to the reporting organization, all querying organizations who received a copy of the report within the past 3 years, and is included in future query responses. A statement must not include links (URLs) to websites, names of individuals, addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information. If such information is discovered, we will redact it. Subject statements may characterize individuals in terms of their relationships (e.g., the patient, the attending physician).

Note: The system will time out after 60 minutes. You may want to write the statement elsewhere and then paste it into the Subject Statement section.
