Do you think they still have my records from 30 years ago? Not really kidding, actually curious if that data was ever properly migrated from system to system.

  My historical records were never digitized by KP, they're on paper in a storage bin somewhere.

    Curious how you know and how far back you are referring to? Did you stick with them throughout — if so, I would imagine they would have had extra incentive to import just yours, at the very least (and others like you, obviously). Glad to know they’re a forest fire away from being lost. If you haven’t used your medical records or had them forwarded to another provider in over three decades, I think it’s ok if they go bye-bye.

      Childhood records. Stuff from my adult years is digitized, but when I was seeing a specialist she said I would have to go visit the hospital where I was born/seen as a child and hope they still had the paper records. I've been with KP most of my life, yeah. And I think you're right that in most cases, it's not really necessary to have the old records. It would have been useful in this case, but it's a niche case.

    My visit information wasn’t digitized as far as I know, but my vaccine records and possibly other records from the 1980s are in my kp account.

      About 10 years ago they dug up all my Group Health Coop (since bought by Kaiser) vaccine records since 1970 and updated the digital record to include them
