Have you tried asking? There's often a fee schedule involved depending on who's asking and why - if the request comes from your attorney and it's for litigation, expect to pay a lot.

On the other hand, if you say you're moving out of state (or out of the country) and thus changing providers, it will probably be free. (This was my experience when I really did move out of the US and had to get hard copies of all my family's medical records.)
