i'm pretty sure you sould be able to take the records from the doctors office for free

when they see you in person, looking like your about to explode with anger, you may have better luck.

If you are asking them to make copies and send them somewhere, I can see them charging you, but not 200 unless they gotta duplicate some crazy thinks I can't think of.

Yep they can charge outrageous fees for things like that. My doc charged me 30 bucks each to fill out a simple form for my Aflac insurance.

thats what I do.

I usually say that I am going out of the country for several months and need copies of everyting. Sure it's a lie, but it works very well.

If they don't send them to me via mail, I show up at their office and offer to go get the records myself.
