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 \[1\]\[2\]\[3\]\[4\]. Last reviewed: October 30, 2026. 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 [\[1\]](https://www.tavrn.ai/medical-record-retrieval). 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 [\[1\]](https://www.tavrn.ai/medical-record-retrieval). - Request handling: every request logged, with follow-up every 48 hours [\[2\]](https://www.tavrn.ai/faq). - 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 [\[3\]](https://www.tavrn.ai/security). ## Side-by-side comparison | Dimension | Tavrn | Hubble | | --- | --- | --- | | What it is | Medical record retrieval from US providers [\[1\]](https://www.tavrn.ai/medical-record-retrieval) | Patient-mediated access to records from connected health systems \[5\]\[6\] | | Who it is for | Law firms, health systems, and health-tech teams [\[1\]](https://www.tavrn.ai/medical-record-retrieval) | Products and teams that need patient-authorized health-record access \[5\]\[8\] | | Request workflow | Tavrn works requests across networks and provider outreach channels [\[1\]](https://www.tavrn.ai/medical-record-retrieval) | Hubble describes patient identity verification, patient-directed access, and records returned through connected systems \[6\]\[8\] | | Integrations | Litify, SmartAdvocate, Clio, Smokeball, SharePoint, and Dropbox [\[2\]](https://www.tavrn.ai/faq) | EHR, payer, and health information exchange connections \[5\]\[6\] | | API and webhooks | REST API with webhooks [\[4\]](https://www.tavrn.ai/medical-record-retrieval/api) | 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 [\[3\]](https://www.tavrn.ai/security) | Hubble describes scoped permissions, audit trails, and a BAA on request; it says SOC 2 Type II is in progress [\[7\]](https://www.hubble.ai/security) | ## 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 [\[1\]](https://www.tavrn.ai/medical-record-retrieval). 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 [\[7\]](https://www.hubble.ai/security). 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 [\[7\]](https://www.hubble.ai/security). A team should review the exact Hubble materials and data flow that apply to its use case [\[7\]](https://www.hubble.ai/security). ## 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. ## FAQ ### What is the difference between Tavrn and Hubble?
