Transferring Medical Records
Transferring medical records works in two directions. Either records are being transferred to Wheatfield Pediatrics from another provider or records are being transferred from our office to another medical provider.
Usually, a signed authorization from a custodial parent is required before records may be released in either direction.
Medical records release forms may be obtained in our office or under the "patient forms" section on this website.
There may be a fee for some forms of record transfer. If records are transferred to another provider from Wheatfield Pediatrics, as a courtesy to you, there will be no charge for the release. If you are requesting medical records for personal use, or anything other than us directly sending them to another provider, a .75 cent per page fee will be charged as allowed by New York State guidelines.
