Medical Record Fees

  • There is no charge for records to be sent to another physician, hospital or other medical facility for continuity of care.
  • Requests made by parents/patients for records for personal use will be charged $.07 per page plus processing fees for photocopies if your record is in paper or electronic format.
  • For all other releases there is a fee of $.57 per page plus a processing fee for photocopies if the record is in paper form or electronic.

You will receive a bill for our efforts with the mailed copy of your record. Before we begin researching and copying your record, we are happy to provide you a cost estimate.

To minimize cost, we suggest requesting a copy of:

  • Discharge Summaries
  • Operative Notes
  • Diagnostic tests
  • The “abstract” of the record which would give you the essential elements of the record without having all the daily assessments

We can only provide you a copy of the information we have. We cannot interpret what the information means or discuss it with you. Please take the information to your personal physician to discuss the findings.
