I think by law they would have to give YOU a copy of your own records and they can charge you a reasonable fee for them. $75 seems a bit much if you have already paid for x-rays, etc. And about picking off of a list, that sounds strange. I don't blame you for not wanting to just pick off of a list----I would want to research who I was gonna use . . . just my thought on it
