Guest guest Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Hello group: Our office has been asked by a patient to provide copies of her medical records for her to hand-carry. We are accustomed to insurance companies and attorneys making this request and have a fee we pass on to them for this service. What are your policies for passing on a charge to your patient? I ask this because we have since changed to a new E.H.R. and have to request our old records on a disk and also go to the old hand-written chart to copies lots more. What would you charge? Thanks for helping us. Alliance Physical Therapy, Eugene, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hi , We charge $35 for med records regardless of who requests for it. We base it on our time, as it can take at least an hour to get the info together, which we then place on a CD, and a trip to the post office to certify the mail.
