What is the name of your state? PA
I know this problem does not fits under any catagory in this forum so I chose this one. I am changing doctors due to the doctor that I have had for past five years (who took care of my wife and child-since birth) was forced to retire due to an undisclosed illness. Anyway, her paitents and my family had to deal with her partner, after about 4-5 visits we disliked her diagnosis's on my entire families matters. To be honest we think she is an idot.
Now. my wife enformed me that doctors charge for removal, copy or transfer of our records to another doctor. If I request the removal of our original records from her office, how can they charge me. I understand a copy of the records, you would charge for xeroxing/paper and USPS transfer would also cost. But if I went to current doctors office and asked for the removal of records in the office and I would take the records to new doctor myself, how can I be charged.
Is there a state law allows them to charge me for removal of records, our of curiosity.
