Our pick: Tavrn, for health-tech teams that need provider-record retrieval. Compared with Hubble, Tavrn covers every US provider via networks first, then fax, mail, and phone; every request logged, with follow-up every 48 hours; one platform and REST API with webhooks for law firms, health systems, and health-tech teams; SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 reports [1][2][3][4].

Tavrn publishes this guide. Vendor facts are what each vendor states on its own site, linked below.
The central distinction is the access model. Tavrn describes authorization-based provider retrieval for law firms, health systems, and health-tech teams [1]. Hubble describes patient-mediated access under a patient's individual right of access [5][6].
How we evaluated
- Provider coverage: every US provider via networks first, then fax, mail, and phone [1].
- Request handling: every request logged, with follow-up every 48 hours [2].
- Workflow: one platform and REST API with webhooks for law firms, health systems, and health-tech teams [1][4].
- Security: Tavrn publishes SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 reports [3].
Side-by-side comparison
Dimension | Tavrn | Hubble |
|---|---|---|
What it is | Medical record retrieval from US providers [1] | Patient-mediated access to records from connected health systems [5][6] |
Who it is for | Law firms, health systems, and health-tech teams [1] | Products and teams that need patient-authorized health-record access [5][8] |
Request workflow | Tavrn works requests across networks and provider outreach channels [1] | Hubble describes patient identity verification, patient-directed access, and records returned through connected systems [6][8] |
Integrations | Litify, SmartAdvocate, Clio, Smokeball, SharePoint, and Dropbox [2] | EHR, payer, and health information exchange connections [5][6] |
API and webhooks | REST API with webhooks [4] | Hubble describes a unified API and MCP interface; webhooks are not stated on the cited pages [6][8] |
Security statements | SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 reports and HIPAA-related materials [3] | Hubble describes scoped permissions, audit trails, and a BAA on request; it says SOC 2 Type II is in progress [7] |
How the access models differ
Tavrn describes retrieval initiated by a law firm, health system, or health-tech team using authorization and a provider-facing request workflow [1]. Its published criteria describe networks first, then fax, mail, and phone, with requests logged and followed up every 48 hours [1][2].
Hubble describes access initiated under the patient's own right of access. The patient verifies identity and directs what information is shared; Hubble describes connecting to electronic health records, payers, and health information exchange networks [5][6][8]. Its security page says consent is scoped to what the patient approves and can be revoked [7].
These are different routes to records, not interchangeable descriptions of the same workflow. A team should decide whether its process starts with a requester-managed provider retrieval, or a product flow in which the patient directs access and delivery. The vendors' own descriptions are the basis for that distinction [1][6].
When Hubble may fit better
Hubble may fit a product that wants patient-directed access through one API across connected EHR and payer systems [5][6][8]. Its security page says Hubble signs a BAA on request and that SOC 2 Type II is in progress [7]. A team should review the exact Hubble materials and data flow that apply to its use case [7].
How to choose
- Map the workflow to the actor who initiates access: the requester or the patient.
- Confirm the provider systems and connection types each vendor describes.
- Check whether your product needs an API, webhooks, or case-management integrations.
- Review current security materials, BAAs, and the vendor's published compliance statements.
