Why does LOG charge for copies of X-rays that will be taken out of Lancaster County?
It is the policy of LOG to charge a fee for copies of X-rays to cover the cost of film and the time spent by the technician making the copies. Historically, X-rays that are taken out of Lancaster County to referring facilities get lost or misplaced, and are never returned to LOG. The law requires LOG to maintain records for each patient; information a physician acquires in the course of a patient’s treatment is considered confidential and physicians must be extremely careful to maintain complete medical files on individual patients.
