What I always did was have my complete records mailed (usually fed-exed at my expense) or faxed immediately to my new doctor's office, and informed anyone who needed to know that my new doctors were to be contacted if there was a problem, seeing as that was my current location.

Your new doctors, in accepting you as a patient, are going to treat you, and see you as necessary, and if you should have an emergency, they will care for you. They knew that when taking on your high risk situation, so I am sure they are prepared for it. My doctors always have been. Thankfully, I never needed care prior to my first new appointment, but I feel confident in telling you that your new doctors will step up to the plate if necessary, but hopefully, your tummy will behave for 10 days! :-)

Think about it this way- as long as they have access to your file, they will be able to catch up to speed very quickly. I was hospitalized once 3 hours from my practice, and my doctors at the admitting hosiptal stpeed in like champs with the faxed medical records and cared for me.

You'll be all right.But call the new office and clarify. Give them your insurance info, and most importantly, make sure that's where your records are.

Hope that helps. Jessica
