They aren't charging you for your records. The are accessing a processing fee to copy them and send to the new physician.

yes for copying and processing charges however per HIPPA you do have legal access to your record free of charge. If you have a good relationship with your old physician and don't mind taking the time maybe they would let you take the chart temporarily and do the photocopying yourself. (although that will cost money also)

No, you do not have a precise to loose copies. Paper prices money and so does the time of the worker who copies them for you. Your record is a criminal document that the well being care service is had to keep. If even one web page went lacking that would want to create serious complications for them, so that they are allowed to be strict about gaining access to it. you're entitled to copies of each and every thing even if the well being care service is authorized to price for the service of copying them. you could request for in straightforward words particular parts of your record to be copied considering they often cost through the web page. you may want to both request that files from a particular date selection be copied, or you may want to request in straightforward words labs, x-rays, progression notes, etc.
