If you use Children's Medical Group....pull your records EARLY. I came in and filled out all the paperwork two weeks ago. They were suppose to be mailed last Tuesday. Still don't have them. I can't get the boys into school without their shot records. And they won't fax them to me....only to another Doctor with a new signed release (because the other release was only released to this address). But our new Dr won't see us without the records....see the circle of anger being created?
Ugh...If I had known I would have pulled them a month early. Learn from my mistake.
Re: Medical Records....word to the wise
When we moved, we didn't have all the medical records transferred right away--mainly because it cost $$ to have everything copied and sent. So we just brought the shot records with us and that was enough for the new pedi.
Can you just request the shot records to be sent? That might be faster.
I feel your pain on the medical records. It took over a month for me to get my medical records from my FL doctors.
I'm working on shot records now. Have to have a signed release from a Drs office for them to fax them to as they won't fax them to me. But our new Dr won't see us without the records....chicken and egg....
And yes, they charged us $50 per child to send records which they botched up on sending. If I had known their lack of competence I would have just picked up the shot records. That is what I get for being trusting.
