medical records copying fees

A patient may request a copy of their record for his or her own use. It is important to note that the medical record for a patient is defined by state regulation as, all "clinical information pertaining to the patient which has been accumulated by the physician, either by himself or through his agents." This includes diagnostic test results, x-rays, physician notes, and any records from prior treating or consulting physicians. The following charge list does not apply to an X-ray or any other portion of a medical record which is not susceptible to photostatic reproduction.
