types of release requests

to the patient
  • EMR Portal: Free
  • Standard Release: $6.50
  • Extensive Release: Calculated costs for production, postage, and staff time

Should we refer you to another medical professional or facility, pertinent records for the consultation are typically sent at no charge. However, if extensive records or non-referred releases are requested, fees apply. All records are sent within 15 business days upon receiving an executed release and associated fees. For urgent cases, if the receiving facility informs us of an emergency, we aim to expedite the transfer, but fees still apply.

  • EMR Portal: Free
  • Standard Release: $6.50
  • Extensive Release: Calculated costs for production, postage, and staff time

Non-medical third-party entities—such as insurance firms, attorneys, and trusts—are charged when requesting records on a patient's behalf. Please note that while patients can facilitate transfer requests, third parties can not directly access the EMR portal.

  • EMR Portal: Free
  • Affidavit Request: $15.00
  • Standard Release: $25.00
  • Extensive Release: $25.00 for the first 20 pages, then $0.50 per page thereafter

Upon Dr. Anne Epstein's retirement in 2021, Revelus Dermatology assumed custodial medical record responsibilities for her patients. Should you transition your care to us, we'll cover the release fees to integrate all available records from Dr. Epstein's office into the EMR portal. Prior Dr. Epstein patients that have established care at our office are considered established and can access the EMR Portal. For all release requests, all available paper records will be digitized and / or duplicated as directed. All records provided “as is”.

  • EMR Portal: Not Available
  • Standard Release: $25.00 for up to 20 pages
  • Extensive Release: $25.00 for the first 20 pages, then $0.50 per page thereafter
  • Postage: If mailed, additional $5.00 per release

Specific guidelines apply to the production of records intended for disability claim documentation. Due to the complexity of these rules, they're not outlined in detail here. For information on fees and procedures related to this type of record request, kindly inquire.

Should you have requests beyond a release—such as completion of third-party forms, letters, or specific insurance appeals—please reach out directly via chat or phone. These requests, given their varied nature, have associated charges that can fluctuate based on their complexity and our team's involvement. For detailed pricing on such requests, kindly inquire.
