Medical Records

[Imom]

Just wanted to let you all know that not only ncp have problems so do some cp. Our situation maybe a little different but non the less. SS goes with mom for 9 1/2 weeks during the summer, Thanksgiving, e/o x-mas break and spring break to Mississippi, we live in Indiana.  Joint legal, shared physical, so of course he has a doc in both states as he should.  Well bm wanted for us to send the records to her when he comes for the summer then visa versa, we agreed (sending them last May to her doc) hoping this would speed things up, you know how slow doc's are (medical record department anyway). Well ss has been back since August and our doc still does not have them from there, bm said she requested for them to be sent twice and I have through our doc's office twice too. So hubby sent the letter off of here, a copy of the co etc. They got it Friday I sent it Express Mail, now lets see what happens? How long should we wait?

sometimes it takes awhile due to the records/clerk dept that copies then.  However if you basically have most the records only request them from xx date to xx date which may speed things up. Usually allow like 20 days to be delivered.

Good luck.
Maybe what needs to be done to help this process is each time the child is seen request that day a copy of what was done etc.

HE is only seen 2-3 times there in the summer, so right now there is only five exams they have done since the summer of 2002.......since we now have a fax machine thats what we plan on donig from now on when he seen down there will call and just have them fax a copy of that day. WE did give them the fax number in the letter, so I hoping they just fax them to us, and only charge for copying?
