I’m trying to get my packet together. Central Carolina Surgery (not my insurance company) wants a recorded of my weight for the last 5 years. The problem is I have moved from 3 different cities in the last 5 years and in that time I’ve seen about 5 different doctors. Everyone wants to charge me $10.00-$12.00 for my records and wants me to come pick them up in person. I don’t mind doing it but I’m getting a little frustrated. They also want a letter of necessity from my doctor. Not sure how to go about getting that what if my doc does not approve?

Some encouraging words please!!!!

Great now I've gotten a call from one of the Doc's office saying that they have purged their records from 2006 and I am no longer able to get them GREAT!!!

I would call that Dr again and demand your records. I dont believe they can purge records that are only 4 years old. Maybe they moved them to storage?

As a patient you have a right to a copy of your records. You cant purge them after 4 years, thats crazy! Someone doesnt want to do their job. Get pissy if you have to! This is the step to the rest of you life, and dont let anyone stand in your way.
