Health records cost provisions modifications

This bill modifies Minnesota's rules for charging patients when they request copies of their health records. It prohibits fees for patients reviewing their own records but sets new maximum charges: $250 for records under three years old (or $250 + $0.40/page for older records), $10 for paper retrieval, $20 for electronic copies, and $30 for x-rays. It also exempts patients appealing Social Security disability claims from all fees, requiring proof like a benefits statement or public assistance documentation. Fees will adjust annually based on the Minneapolis-St. Paul Consumer Price Index starting in 2026.
