Electronic health records; certain test results not disclosed to patient as part of until 72 hours after results are finalized.
HB 193 would delay the disclosure of certain sensitive medical test results to patients via electronic health records for 72 hours after finalization, unless a patient's healthcare provider directs earlier release. It specifically applies to pathology/radiology reports with a reasonable likelihood of indicating cancer or tests revealing genetic markers. The bill, which died in committee in February 2025 and never took effect, aims to prevent immediate patient access to these results while allowing providers to override the delay when clinically appropriate. This would directly affect patients receiving such test results in Mississippi.
