I just got a call back today from the records department as they located my records & it's going to cost me $150 ($1/pp). I hope it's totally not unnecessary, but I REALLY, REALLY want to read them and figure out what the heck is wrong with me!
That is insane! What time period did you order the records from--are they just your hospital stay or all of your prenatal care as well? Maybe if you just started with the operative report, it would be more affordable and still give you the info you need.
Doesn't HIPAA say that medical records have to be reasonably priced? So much for that.

That is crazy! I didn't have to pay for mine or DD's at the hospital. But if I went to my OB office I bet I would. I have heard of people paying a lot at most Dr's offices. I don't know that there would be anything interesting in there though.
