Provisions for the cost of health records changed.

HF 2070 changes Minnesota's rules for charging patients when they request copies of their own health records. It prohibits fees for records requested to review current medical care but sets specific maximum charges: $1 per page for paper copies (plus $10 retrieval), $250 flat for records up to three years old, and $30 for x-rays. The bill also exempts patients appealing Social Security disability denials or those receiving public assistance from all fees. These fee limits will adjust annually based on the Consumer Price Index starting in 2026.
