I am trying to gather most of my non-VA medical records for an IMO and to have for when the VA looses them.
Every doctor / Hospital I contacted except two want upto $0.75 per page for copies of these records.
One hospital that I use a lot due to its proximity to my home wants $1800.00 for a full copy of my medical records.
They will send them to another doctor free of charge.
Three times they have send a CASE of records to the VA and the records room has lost them all three times.
The only doctors I have are all VA doctors.
Does anyone know if there is a service out there that will request all my records and then charge me a small fee and then ship them to me?
Or does anyone have a suggestion as to how I might go about obtaining the records cheaper or free?
I mean we have a right for a free copy of our credit report, but no right to free copies of our medical records, there is something just very wrong about that.
