How to redact medical records before sharing

Insurance claims, workplace accommodations, school forms, second opinions — medical documents get shared for narrow reasons, but each page can carry your entire history.

Purpose-driven redaction

• Insurance claim: keep diagnosis/treatment relevant to the claim; redact unrelated history and third-party names.
• Employer accommodation: they need the functional limitation, rarely the diagnosis; redact aggressively.
• School/sports forms: keep clearances; redact conditions and medications irrelevant to participation.

Why local processing matters most here

Uploading health records to a random PDF site hands your most sensitive data to an unknown processor. RedactSafe runs entirely in your browser — verifiably: load it, disconnect from the internet, and everything still works. Exports are flattened so redacted content is destroyed, not hidden. Review every page before sharing; auto-detect helps with numbers and dates but the judgment calls are yours.
