Introduced
by
To require health care providers or health facilities to allow an adult patient or the parent of a minor patient, to examine or obtain the patient’s medical records. A health care provider would have 30 days to either make the record available, or disclose that the record does not exist or cannot be found. This would be 60 days if the record was not kept or was not accessible on-site. If a health care provider determines that disclosure of the record would have an adverse effect on the patient, the provider must still provide the record to another health care provider, and provide a clear statement supporting the determination. The bill includes limits on how much a health care provider or facility can charge for the records.
