By federal law you have the right to a copy of your medical records and the office can charge a reasonable fee for copying those files for you. Also, by federal law your medical records are NOT your property they are the propery of the doctors office, which is why there are also laws regarding disclosure, storage, and disposal of such files.

I understand your frustration and am sorry for what your going through, but even if you have to pay for them its important to have a copy.
