A copy of the medical record, X-ray images, and dental models will be issued

X-ray images are loaded onto Maxilla’s memory stick for which € 5 must be paid to the clinic.
  • By e-mail to the patient – the patient completes the corresponding digitally signed statement, where the patient has also indicated his or her e-mail address, on the basis of which the encrypted medical file(s) are transmitted to the patient by e-mail.
  • To the representative of the patient – on the basis of a document digitally signed by the patient or a signed unattested written application and by submission of a document with the photo identifying the authorized person and on the filling in of a corresponding application.
  • To insurance companies and law firms on the basis of an application (an application signed by the patient in writing or digitally signed and sent by e-mail).

The medical files will be issued within 5 working days after receipt of the application.
