Friedbrain -

We are fortunate that our Dr. provides copies of all the test results as they come in but we request a copy of the medical records at least every other month to check the clinical notes. The test results are in there too. We request them because sometimes by the time the notes are dictated, the Dr. has changed or omitted things. We also voice memo every appt to make sure we have it right. With so much going on it's too easy to miss something important. There was a change in transfusion rate that never made it in the file and it was a real problem when the Dr. was on vacation. Now we check and there is no charge for it at our office.
