SB 378 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Makes revisions relating to health care. (BDR 40-705)

SB 378 requires healthcare providers to give patients their electronic health records within 7 business days at no cost, and prohibits using paid health information exchanges to meet electronic record-keeping requirements. It updates licensing for independent emergency medical centers, mandating no fees for licenses, requiring urgent care during all operating hours, and obligating the state to collect and publicly share data on these centers' operations and patient outcomes. The bill also limits electronic health information exchange rules to specific providers (like doctors and hospitals) while exempting small practices from some requirements, though they must still provide records electronically upon patient request.
