▶ Show statement of purpose

This legislation amends Title 39, Idaho Code, to set a reasonable maximum charge for a patient, or their representative, to obtain a copy of records from a physician or other health care service. Idaho is the only state without any guidelines on costs and this legislation is intended to prevent price gouging, but also provides an incentive for an electronic download.
