Transferring dental records can vary in cost depending on several factors, including the location of the dentist's office, the method of recording the information, the number of records to be transferred, and whether you choose to receive the records electronically or on paper. typically, a fee is charged for preparing and mailing hard copies of your chart. However, digital transfers are becoming more common, and some offices may offer this service for a flat fee. It's important to contact your new dentist or your old dentist's office to inquire about the costs associated with transferring your records. Remember, under HIPAA regulations, you have the right to receive a copy of your dental records, and your dentist's office must provide you with a cost estimate before fulfilling your request.
