HB 2783 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions for providing copies of medical records

HB 2783 requires healthcare providers to give patients or their authorized representatives copies of medical records within a reasonable time after a written request, with specific fee limits. Providers may charge up to $24.85 for search/retrieval plus $0.57 per page (or $108.88 for electronic delivery if conditions are met), and fees adjust annually based on medical inflation. The bill exempts fees for records needed for federal benefits (e.g., Social Security, VA claims) and outlines procedures for accessing records of deceased patients. It applies directly to patients seeking their health records and healthcare providers handling such requests.
