True or False: If a client requests copies of his/her dental records but refuses to pay for them, the copies must still be provided.

In the context of dental jurisprudence in Nevada, the correct interpretation of the law is that dental records belong to the dental practice, while the patient has a right to access their own records. However, it's permissible for a dental practice to impose a reasonable fee for copying these records, as this fee may cover the cost of materials and labor involved in providing copies.

If a patient requests copies but refuses to pay the associated costs, the dental practice is not legally compelled to provide the copies without payment. Typically, practices will inform the patient of the fee beforehand, and if the fee is not settled, the copies need not be released.

Therefore, asserting that copies must still be provided regardless of payment is incorrect. In this scenario, the rights of the practice to protect their financial interests in the reproduction of records prevail, making the appropriate stance that the answer is false.
