The doctor's office, where my old laparoscopy records are located, called this afternoon.
The girl was very nice and apologized for having to notify me that since my records are so old (2002) they will need to collect a $25 fee to retrieve them from storage.
Of course, I was expecting this as I haven't seen the doctor since late 2002 and she knew I was moving out of the country the next month.
I gave her my credit card number and she said she was filling out the requisition form right away. She also said that they would like to send my records copy to me instead of Dr. Redwine because medical records are usually destroyed after 10 yrs and if I have them, then I can make a copy to give to the doctor and ensure my only copy is not destroyed.
I think that is a good policy.
I should receive my records within 2 weeks.
