The Cost of Medical Records: Are You Getting Scammed?

Here's a great post from Max Kennerly at Litigation & Trial: "Defeating The Medical Records Paper Copy Scam."

If you want to find out whether doctors and hospitals are overcharging you for your client's medical records--and they probably are--then read Kennerly's full post.

Kennerly even includes a sample letter you can use to request records in a way that will require providers to comply with the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act).

Why does Kennerly include such a letter in his post?

According to Kennerly, "Enough is enough. These companies cannot prey upon our clients."

I agree.
