Guest guest Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 We are planning to implement a charge for copying medical records. For the state of NC, there is a maximum charge for the first 25 pages, another charge for pages 26-100, etc. Would others please share their policies of how much you charge (the maximum allowed?) and what entities you charge - attorney offices, patients? Thank-you! Ferguson, PT Holly Springs, NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Dear , We charge the maximal allowable in WA state for medical records which most commonly is to attorneys. We invoice them first and when payment is received, the records are copied and sent. We do not charge for clients however they rarely if ever have requested copies of their entire chart that would impact costs of man hours and supplies. Happy Friday!

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 , Be careful. NC State law has a provision that if you charge attorneys for copies, it automatically waives any lien you may have for that clients case. We only charge attorneys for our clients who are referred by work comp carriers. Hope this helps!
