HEALTH -- Adds to existing law to provide for maximum fees that health care providers may charge for medical records requests.
HEALTH
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.
