Also, if the OP will accept a superbill - this makes things much easier, because you can simply ask for a copy of your visit sheet (one page) on the way out of the doctor's office, and in my experience, they have been willing to xerox me a copy no charge 100% of the time I have asked for it. What I usually say, when I am walking out to pay for the visit - is that I am considering a pain manageent clinic or chiropractor/specialist in the future and would like copies of all my visit sheets incase the specialist would like to see them. That way, I am not even lying - I am telling the complete truth. Because I am infact wanting copies in order to give to a pain-management doctor. So it works well this way. When you tell them you need the records for a possible future visit to a specialist/orthopedic/or pain clinic - they will usually (every time in my experience) - be very understanding, infact last time I did this the secretary on the way out told me I was 'very smart to keep copies of all my records' - This is one reason I don't understand why so many people say they have a hard time getting their med records. OP's do NOT want a 100 page fax of every x-ray and MRI and visit you have done in your life. They want a nice succint page or few telling them of your major complaints and diagnosis. I have never had ANY trouble getting a xerox of my visit sheet on the way out of the doctor's office door.
