I've worked in medical offices for many years at many places and actually used to send medical records to people. Every place I worked at always had a breakdown of how much the medical records were.

I believe there are regulations on how much can be charged and usually charged per page, which can sometimes cause not knowing the total amount due until they're provided due to everyone's record being different.

For example, at one job, it was $5.00 for the first page and $0.15 for each additional page after that but would cap the charge at a certain amount if it was a lot of pages.

Obviously, all places are different, but I would be very surprised if the pricing wasn't outlined when OP requested the records. For medical offices, this is a pretty common and streamlined process.

Didn't know this was a thing. I've been cutting back because of the debilitating headaches, but I was, on average, drinking 3x 300mg rockstars a day at work. 2x on my days off 🤷🏻‍♂️

About 6 years ago when my eldest was almost 1, I threw a big wet nappy down the stairs for my partner to catch and then throw in the bin but it just exploded into a million of those little nappy crystals full of piss in his hand, and therefore all over the 1 metre² at the bottom of the stairs.
