Pathway is now allowing former clients to receive copies of their records. However, they are charging money for the service. 25 cents a copy!
Anyway, with daily group notes and billing sheets, say five a day, for my stay that would be around a thousand dollars! That's not including my treatment plans or anything else. This seems very unreasonable to me.
Does anyone know what PFC is required to do by law regarding one's personal records? EMSR

Your record has always been available to you. Go in and go through what you want to have copied. It's your information. Maybe there is just certain info you want copied.

This is a magic incantation to make a jaberwok back off and hand over your intellectual property in exchange for a reasonable copy fee: medical records copy fee cap. Many states have a specific dollar about, like $100, no matter how many pages there are.
So try asking any legitimate medical professional and find out any statute numbers, common terms to use to describe any policies and practices. Ask a Mich. lawyer how much they'd charge to draft a letter citing whatever relavent jaberwok incantations they know of.
The right to do something does not mean that doing it is right.
