REQUEST TO TRANSFER RECORDS TO NEW PROVIDER

When a patient moves, or, for other reasons, there is a necessity to change orthodontists during the course of ongoing orthodontic treatment, it is highly advantageous for all involved parties that the transfer be as prompt and convenient as possible. Of paramount importance is the identification of an orthodontist who will accept the patient and successfully complete the treatment.

The American Association of Orthodontists represents over ninety percent of the orthodontic specialists in the U.S. and Canada. Your current doctor is a member and will assist you in finding a qualified orthodontist.

It is necessary that your records be transferred to assure that the receiving orthodontist is knowledgeable of your orthodontic condition(s), orthodontic treatment goals, the current treatment plan, and related financial arrangements. To facilitate the transfer of these records, it is necessary that you complete the following:

I authorize Dr. ____________________ to release all records of ____________________ (patient’s name) for the

purpose of continuation of treatment by Dr. ___________________(new provider’s name).

Signature: __________________________________________________________Date_______________________

  • Do provide a clear treatment history and any significant concerns. This information is crucial for the new provider to understand the patient's needs.
  • Do sign and date the form. An unsigned form may be deemed invalid and could hinder the transfer.
  • Don't leave any sections blank unless specified. Each part of the form is designed to gather important information.

Common mistakes

  1. Incomplete Patient Information: Failing to fill out all sections of the patient information can lead to delays. Ensure that the patient's name, birth date, and contact information are fully provided.

  2. Missing Treatment History: Not including a detailed treatment history can hinder the new provider's understanding of the patient's needs. Include significant history and any treatments already rendered.

  3. Omitting Financial Details: Forgetting to document financial arrangements may create confusion. Clearly outline any outstanding balances, payment terms, and financial agreements.

  4. Neglecting to Sign the Form: A common mistake is not signing the form. Without a signature, the transfer request cannot be processed. Always ensure the form is signed by the patient or guardian.

  5. Not Checking Record Status: Failing to indicate whether records are enclosed or sent separately can lead to miscommunication. Clearly mark the status of all records being transferred.
