Can your primary physician charge you for your original documents?

Can your primary physician charge you for your original documents?

A patient has a right to request and be given a copy of their health records and providers should not withhold this information because of money owed. There are some providers that charge to send records from one service provider to another but again, this should not impact the patient’s ability to get a copy of the information. See the Medical Practitioners’ Standards of Practice for more formation.
