[quote=Anonymous]The following notice was sent out in late Dec; the small-ish group practice (in D.C.) is not private and also participates w our family's insurance.  I was shocked and super upset by the expectation, and sincerely did not have a spare $100, and since the fee was not optional was deleted from the practice.  Thus, now I don't have a provider and will have to pay a la carte to get my records copied or digitally forwarded.

[i]Thank you for being a part of the __________ family!
