relative to patient access to medical records.

This bill establishes that all medical records held by healthcare providers or their storage vendors belong to the patient. It sets specific price caps for obtaining copies, limiting electronic records to a maximum of $6.50 and paper records to a tiered fee structure with a $50 total cap. Additionally, the law requires providers to supply requested records in their original electronic format if available and mandates that all copies be delivered within 30 days. If a provider fails to meet this deadline due to their own delays, any subsequent records must be provided for free.
