Medical Records Transfer

Transferring a Medical Chart

Each patient (or guardian) may request at any time to transfer their medical chart to a new provider (please allow at least 6 weeks for this). He/She/They may also request a personal copy of the chart in paper form or on unsecured USB. Please follow the steps below for this.

We are required to safeguard patient charts in one capacity or another for a period of 16 years otherwise.

More information is found under the relevant Practice Standard.

Fees

Chart transfer and/or copies are labor intensive for staff and this is not a service insured by MSP. However, our fees are on a sliding scale, so please talk to our staff directly if you are concerned about these.

Step 2

Once your chart(s) is ready for transfer to a new provider, you will be called to collect payment and we will then proceed with forwarding this onwards (staff will document in your chart that this was completed).

If you have requested an electronic USB copy or a paper copy of the chart(s), you will be notified once ready and must then come down to the clinic to:

-Process payment (cheque, credit or debit)

-Sign one of the following two waivers

-Physically collect the chart copy (paper or electronic)
