I always go for the most expensive as the service is generally better.
Ummm... that is an interesting opinion... not founded in fact, of course, but nonetheless an interesting opinion.
For a doctor charging the dearest consultation, I can get any photocopies for free.
Not exactly sure what "the dearest consultation' means.....
It is like associating charging more with being unethical.
Yes, nameless guest, that is
exactly what it is! Glad to see you understand that charging a patient for his/her own test results is unethical!

I am finding this practice more and more, that even your own Primary care dr will charge. Ain't like they need the money, but I guess they want to know WHO is actually asking for WHAT? Wonder if it's alittle CYA on the doc's part to ensure what is being sent out of his office is the true deal?

They informed me there would be a $5.00 retrieval fee and a charge of $.25 per page. I will just wait with getting the copies for now, I am going to my doctor next week anyway. Maybe I can convince my doctor to run me off some copies. The way I look at it, I paid plenty for the sleep studies, I should at least get a copy of the reports!
