Funny because I just went to a 4 lawyer, Nancy's IPA/PO sponsered seminar on a number of topics. One of the covered issues was this "re-transmission" thing. It was this "brain-trust's" opinion that we should save and retain, and forward when records are requested and that should include other "old" docs stuff that had been forwarded, copies, sent to us. Nancy is an FP and so some of the charts we get from older or sicker patients can be pretty big. Now one can always "assist" the patients in being picky about what they really need or don't need when they make such a request to keep the printing and copying down.
