Patient Addition or Removal Request
Learn how to request provider addition to or removal from patient admission/registration and report misdirected records belonging to Interior Health.

When providers move/retire, patients change health care providers, or data entry errors occur, this may result in records being misdirected. The encrypted form below allows physicians and health care professionals to securely report errors and updates.
- Access the Patient Removal Request form to:
- Add a provider or transfer care
