Health Care - As introduced, requires a healthcare provider to provide to a patient or a patient's authorized representative a copy of the patient's medical records within 20 working days of receipt of a written request by the patient or representative instead of 10 working days. - Amends TCA Title 63 and Title 68.
SB 432 amends Tennessee law to extend the timeframe healthcare providers must provide patient medical records from 10 to 20 working days after a written request from the patient or their authorized representative. This change directly affects patients seeking access to their own medical records and their designated representatives. The bill modifies Tennessee Code Annotated Sections 63-2-101(a)(1) and related provisions under Titles 63 and 68, which govern healthcare provider obligations. The key provision replaces "ten (10)" working days with "twenty (20)" working days in the existing legal requirement.
