What can a doctor charge me for medical records?

While you are guaranteed access to copies of your medical records, they don’t necessarily have to come free. A physician or medical facility is allowed to charge you reasonable fees. This includes the fees to copy the records, like the paper, ink, and staples that go into making the copies, as well as the labor required to copy the medical records. In addition, you can also be charged for postage and for summaries of your medical records.
