How long does one need to keep billing records? I did electronic billing for a dentist about 10 years ago. How long do I need to keep this info? The checks and the EOB's went to the office , I only have the patient info. I would take it and get it shredded if I have no reason to keep them. Thanks Patti

The federal law is 7 years, however the rule of thumb is that if your state has a longer period of time than the federal, you follow the state law. NJ for example is one of them.
