Agreed. I in much the same way, do not allow anyone to import a file into FAP. Of course, that is also the same way you and Adam do it, as you look at the files first before dispersing them.
CDs would be the perfect option, but I had a staff member from another office call and tell me they don't know how to use CDs. I asked her if she had a CD player in a computer? Yes. Is it connected to a printer? Yes. Well, put it in the CD player and then open the file and print it. (Your paper, not mine)
CDs,like people paying for records, is so new to the system (as far as record transfers, etc., that we are never sure who will take them or not. I have made a few proponents of them, and they will accept nothing less. Gees, it is the best of both worlds. Print it, save it. Whatever.
I did have a mother tell me the other day, "I work for a doctor's office, and it is illegal for you to charge for records." Nope, sorry. And, here is the statute. And, I can also send a letter summarizing the patient's record. She then told me she send the letter to the MMA and the insurance company. Now, that made me give them to her for free. It was the MMA that sent me the statute and told me how to bill for them.
It's just another case of doctors getting walked all over. Try calling your lawyer and asking him/her to make a copy of your will and send it to you. I am sure it will be free.
