Medical records; set maximum amounts of fees that may be charged for providing in electronic format.

HB 476 sets maximum fees that Mississippi healthcare providers can charge for sharing medical records electronically. It limits charges to $30 flat for sending records electronically when they're already digital, or $0.25 per page (capped at $25 total) for converting paper records to electronic format, plus actual costs for media and postage. The bill directly affects patients requesting their own records and third parties authorized by patients to receive records. It amends existing law to establish these electronic fee caps while maintaining separate limits for photocopying. The law takes effect July 1, 2026.
