( I Have a question about )Hospitals?

Question

can they charge you if you wanted a copy of your birth certificate(sorry for misspelling) and any other Info on your health

Answer 1

Hospitals do not keep copies of birth certificates. That is from the Bureau of Vital Statistics in the city you were born, and there is usually a charge ($5.00 or so) Most medical records can only be sent to another hospital or doctor.

Answer 2

Depends on the type of hospital. Private hospitals can charge you for anything they want. There be be a minimal charge (less than 20 bucks) for the time and energy it takes to dig you out of the files. If you are looking for a birth certificate to use for a passport; the one from the hospital will not be accepted. It must be the notarized one from the state / county.

Answer 3

Yes, but you get your birthcertificate from a county office usually, like Hall of Records or something like that. Hospitals charge for copying information, etc.

Answer 5

I AM IN THIS FIELD SO I THINK I CAN HELP. THEY CAN CHARGE YOU FOR COPIES OF ANY MEDICAL RECORDS, INCLUDING YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE. THE REASON FOR THIS IS THEY HAVE TO PAY THE PERSON WHO PULLS YOUR CHART AND COPIES AL YOUR INFORMATION. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS LET ME KNOW.

Answer 6

Yes, cause it costs for the paper and time it takes an employee to do it for you. They have to recoup the money the lose from the no pays. It's a fact of life. Sorry!
