Commercial Requests

All commercial requests must be reviewed and authorized by Valleywise Health’s General Counsel. According to Arizona law, we will assess the following commercial request charges:

  • A portion of the cost to us for obtaining the original or copies of the documents, printouts or photographs, including the cost of searching
  • A reasonable fee for the cost of time, materials, equipment and personnel used in producing and copying the record, or
  • The value of the reproduction on the commercial market as best determined by our auditor and the appropriate department.

 

Media Requests

Requests submitted by the media are generally considered non-commercial.
