If a patient or an outside hospital/doctor requests a consult, we encourage patients to pick up their slides at the same time as they pick up radiology discs, medical records, etc. If we need to fedex slides/reports to another institution we ask the receiving facility for their Fed-Ex number. If they don't have one, then we eat the charge in favor of the patient getting the care they need. However, if we receive a request for a research project, or for duplication for legal reasons, then we charge a duplication fee for the cost of materials.
