Missing medical records
Personal injury demand terminology
Direct answer
Records that the file implies should exist — referenced, billed or ordered — but that are absent from the record set assembled for a demand.

In detail
What missing medical records means in practice
Missing records are detected by comparing references and billing against the documents actually present, not by reading the set alone.
Why it matters
A demand assembled around an incomplete record set invites the carrier to discount what is not documented.
Example
An imaging charge with no corresponding radiology report attached.
