MEDICAL RECORDS

 

To Another Doctor – Please sign a records release for outgoing records in our office.  We will make a summary of your child’s chart and send them to the new physician free of charge as a professional courtesy.  Please allow four weeks for the entire process.

 

To Hand Carry – Or if the entire chart is requested to be sent to another doctor for change of PCP, our fees for releasing patient records are $12 for the first 10 pages, and $0.25 for each additional page.  We will send you a statement for the copied records.  If records are needed

“immediately,” an extra fee of $5.00 will be added for priority mail status or more immediate pick up.  If records are picked up at the office the fee must be paid at that time.  Please keep in mind it takes up to four weeks for records to be copied and mailed.  Immunization records are always available from your child’s chart at no charge.  Any fees incurred are the responsibility of the parent/guardian or patient if over eighteen years old.

 

From Another Doctor – Please sign a records release for incoming records in our office.  If we receive them before your child has an appointment, we will hold the records for up to a year.

 

 

RECORD STORAGE

We will hold records as active for 3 years with no visits.  After 3 years, they are placed in storage.  We can retrieve records from storage on a weekly basis.  Please remember to take your child’s shot records with you when you leave the practice for any reason.
