Can duplicate radiographs be sent to a specialist consultant or insurance company?
What will be an ideal response?
Yes. The courts have ruled that original radiographs are the property of the dentist. Patients may have reasonable access to their radiographs and may request a copy if they decide to change dentists or request an outside consultation. If a dentist is sending radiographs for pretreatment authorization, a copy should be sent and the originals should be kept as part of the patient's permanent record.
