The following are hospital-wide procedures for copying and faxing medical records:

1. All medical records requested by a health care provider for the purpose of continuity of care are free of charge.
2. An entire medical record requested by a student for any purpose will cost a customary fee of $5.00 minimum for the first 20 pages plus $0.35 for each additional page. This fee must be paid prior to the receipt of records.
3. Students requesting medical records must first consent by completing a release of information form.
4. All students requesting records must provide proper identification and specify date of service or reason for the request.
5. All records being faxed will be proceeded by a complete cover sheet including the requestor's name. A copy of the fax will be filed in the student's medical record. Requested materials will be faxed only to health care providers for the purpose of continuity of care.
