Lahey Hospital & Medical Center or Lahey Clinic?
Many people still search “Lahey Hospital and Medical Center,” while official pages now frequently use Lahey Clinic for the Burlington hospital campus. For patient actions, treat the Burlington main campus as the same core destination unless your appointment paperwork names a different Lahey or Beth Israel Lahey Health location.
Burlington main campus
The main hospital campus is listed at 41 Mall Road / 41 Burlington Mall Road in Burlington, Massachusetts.
24/7 emergency care
The Burlington campus includes the Joseph C. Corkery Emergency Center, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

| Lab result or visit note | Check MyBILH Chart first, then contact the ordering provider if interpretation is needed. | Portal support cannot interpret clinical results. |
| Prescription refill | Use MyBILH Chart refill tools when available. | Refill request does not always mean the pharmacy has filled it yet. |
| Appointment management | Use portal tools if available or call 781-744-8000. | Some services still require referral, authorization or direct department scheduling. |
| Bill pay | Use MyBILH Chart or the official bill pay page. | For confusing bills, call billing before paying. |

Medical Records: What to Request and Where to Send It
Lahey says patients can access records at any time. If you have a portal account, you can view records online. For formal copies, download and complete the Authorization for Release of Medical Information form or send a signed letter with the required information.
Medical Records phone

Portal option
Use MyBILH Chart first when you only need to view available notes, results or visit summaries.
| Record need | Best route | Prepare | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard medical records | Authorization form or signed letter to Medical Records | Name, address, DOB, phone, Lahey patient number, purpose, record type, destination and signature. | Requesting “everything” when a discharge summary or specialist note is enough. |
| Records to another doctor | Medical Records release or provider-to-provider request | Receiving physician name, office phone, fax/email and appointment date. | Assuming the receiving doctor already has the record. |
| Imaging test copies | Use the imaging-test-copy route listed under Lahey Medical Records resources | Study date, modality, body part and destination details. | Asking for written reports when actual image files are required. |
| Billing records | Billing / patient accounts route | Statement, account number, service date and insurance EOB. | Confusing clinical records with billing records. |
| Advance directive / health care proxy | Use Lahey advance directive resources and bring copies to care visits | Health care proxy, living will or decision-maker documents. | Keeping documents at home but not giving copies to the hospital. |
Billing, Insurance, Payment Plans and Facility Fees

Online bill pay
If you have a MyBILH Chart account, Lahey says you can view and pay bills online.
Before paying a confusing Lahey bill, check these 8 things
- Is this a hospital facility charge, doctor charge, lab charge, radiology charge, anesthesia charge or another separate bill?
- Has insurance fully processed the claim and sent an Explanation of Benefits?
- Does the bill match your patient name, service date, account number and visit location?
- Was the service at a hospital outpatient department such as 41 Mall Road, 31 Mall Road, 67 South Bedford Street, 50 Mall Road, Peabody or Lexington MRI?
- Do you need an itemized bill before paying?
- Do referral, authorization or primary-care doctor requirements affect the balance?
- Do you qualify for financial assistance, MassHealth, Health Safety Net, Commonwealth Care help or an interest-free payment plan?
- Did you save payment confirmation if you paid through MyBILH Chart?
Parking Garage, Valet, Pay-on-Foot and Burlington Arrival Tips
Lahey says patients at Burlington can use the parking garage for a nominal fee, valet services may be available at some locations, and Burlington residents age 60 and older can park for free at the 41 Mall Road and 31 Mall Road locations.

|---|---|---|
| Patient & visitor garage | Paid parking is available at the Burlington campus. | Use the pay-on-foot station in the main lobby to save time. |

Using MyBILH Chart for emergencies

Going to 41 Mall Road without checking the address
Lahey appointments may be at 31 Mall Road, 50 Mall Road, 67 South Bedford, Peabody, Lexington MRI or another site.
Not asking about facility fees

Requesting records too vaguely
Ask for exact records and date ranges, not “everything,” unless a full chart is truly required.
Trying to pay cash in the parking garage

Bringing young children without checking rules
Children under 6 generally may not visit unless visiting a hospitalized parent or sibling; some units may have stricter rules.
