Can original radiographs be sent directly to another dentist in California?

The office does not have to hand the original films or images to the patient if the valid request directs them to another provider. The transfer still has to be authorized and documented in the ordinary records-access lane. The broader access right remains in place even when the transfer is provider-to-provider.
