Question How long must a specialty office keep patient reocords?
Dermatology and plastic surgery office. This is in South Carolina, what are the federal regulations?
Answer Hi Lucy. Thanks for the question. I have no idea what the federal regulations are or even if there are what they would be. I do know that each Managed Care Organization has a standard, Medicare and Medicaid, has a standard. You may want to contact your Medical Society to see what they suggest are the medical record guidelines. I'm just not sure.
