Okay, I'm not going to go back and forth so, here is the deal.  You want a third copy of your file. 

1.  You pay $25.00  for that copy

2.  You pay for the certified mail charge.

3.  After we determine the cost, you send us a cashier's check/money order

4.  You get your file. 

That is the end of it.

Nowhere in these previous emails between Ms. Paglinawan and myself, regarding the second set, is there any reference to 25.00 dollars being the cost of the second set. Where do you see it?

We told you there was a charge, we mailed you the file and you haven't paid.  So to get the third set, you have to pay for the second set and also the third set before we send it out.

Why am I being asked to pay for the prior set after the fact. I should have been charged when I asked.

> I don't understand. If you have two sets of records one given to you and the other sent certified mail, then why do you need another set?
>
> If you want a third set that you can sign for then you will have to pay our fee. What I am charging you is the fee that we set as a company and that fee is $25 per set of records. So the $50.00 fee is the cost of your third set as well as the prior set. That is what you need to pay to obtain another set of records.

> Everything will be ready for you to pick by tomorrow afternoon. The only thing I will be duplicating is your chart and any paper info from the computer. I'm sure you don't need another duplicate copy of your x-rays that already have been provided. The x-rays you took here on 5/03 were found in a patients chart with a same first name and similar last name. I'm very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you, but I think I have been very accommodating with your needs. I hope this will be the last time I will need to duplicate your records. I will e-mail you when everything is ready.

Since this descrepency has arose, could you please put together another full packet and document what it consists of? I don't mind paying for the paper. This way you and I will have verification of me receiving the complete record of my history at
Hawaii Family Dental. By the way where'd you find the other x - rays?

> I am not quite sure what type of billing information your requesting. I have given you a copy of your complete chart and all information I had in our computer. I also came across your radiographs taken on your first visit on
5-15-07 with Dr. Enoka. You are more than welcome to come and pick them up at anytime. There is no additional charge for duplication.
