[Chat] medical records

[Kathleen Hruska]

Also, here's a link to a .pdf file for "Your Medical Rights in Maryland"

ihcrp.georgetown.edu/privacy%20/stateguides/md/md.pdf

As of August 2005, any Maryland provider can charge $0.65 per page  
for copies of your medical record (adjusted for inflation each  
year).  He/she also can charge postage, if you request your records  
be mailed to you.  No fee can be assessed for preparation, however,  
and you can ask to view your records at any time for free.

Twenty-one (21) working days after a written request to obtain a copy  
of your records is the allowable response time.
