Problems for lawyers obtaining medical records

The Florida Medical Association is attempting to have legislation passed which will allow doctors to charge more for copies of their patients medical records. Currently, in Florida, physicians can charge $1 per page for the first 25 pages and 25 cents thereafter. Some plaintiff attorneys have stated that it is their contention that this is a way for the doctors to avoid medical malpractce claims.
