You go girl!
We aren't medicare providers so that information is all new to me. However, we do also charge for any medical records that we have to copy/print and send out. The state of Oregon allows a significant amount for it (to pad their own pockets) $30.00 for the first 10 pages, $0.50 a page from 11 - 50, $0.25 a page for 51 pages plus, postage, and an expedite fee of $7.00. We invoice everyone before we do anything with a chart, with the exception of patients who go on Medicare. Those charts we'll copy and forward as a courtesy. Many patients really grumble about it. We've found they determine what they think is really important to be sent on.
