Medical records retention requirements; provide for.

This bill establishes new rules for how long hospitals, doctors, and dentists in Mississippi must keep patient medical records. It requires general records to be stored for at least ten years and specific items like X-rays to be kept for a minimum of three years. Additionally, the law mandates that parents or guardians of minors under eighteen can request access to these records without needing the minor's permission. These changes apply to all licensed medical and dental facilities in the state.
