I think I have said this a time or two before. Remember the fiasco about getting D's SA results? Yeah, well I had to get all of my records to see the specialist tomorrow. I put in a request two weeks ago and never heard anything. I called them to check on it and they wanted me to come in and fill out another release form. So I did and then they told me yesterday that it would take 7 - 10 business days. WTF? I go to the dr TOMORROW people. I need them now.
So I call this morning and they tell me that the medical records chic only works part time and they don't know when she will be in or her schedule. WTH!? Sounds like a great job, I want to do that. Finally I hunt down someone who will help me and she just called back and they were able to do it. Thank goodness.....BUT....
FORTY FRIGGIN BUCKS. $40 for 35 sheets of paper. FLUCKIN ridiculous.
Re: Doctors suck
Yup, that is the standard fee. But she did tell me that she cut me a deal since she didnt copy my miscarriage u/s pictures seperatley.
Um. Thanks.
This. I had my fill of it this past summer trying to get my records (it also cost me about $30 for 20 pages) and then dealing with insurance coding nightmares.
Ugh, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that...as if you needed something else, right? I'm glad you got the records and they didn't make you wait that 7-10 days or whatever crap they initially said. GL tomorrow!!!
OI! What a mess!!! Sorry they were such pains in the ass but at least you have them now!
Hopefully this new doctor will be amazing
Junk punch to your doctor's office. What a PITA.
Fingers crossed that the new doc is 1000x better than this office.
Unbelievable. I can't understand why they make it so difficult.
Scarlett's doc has e-files. He updates the system as he talks to us and gives us a printout when he's done. I hope more docs go that direction. It's very convenient.
I never understood why you had to pay for copies of your records. I'd be like, gimme those bad boys and I'll take them to kinkos and get them copied for under $5.
Glad you got them and hope all goes well tomorrow!
