Requires patient to receive notification of abnormality in chest x-ray; designated as Claudia's Law.

Bill A3598, designated as Claudia's Law, requires healthcare providers to include specific information in patient chest x-ray reports when an abnormality is detected. It mandates that the notification state: "Your chest x-ray shows an abnormality that may be associated with a risk factor for various illnesses" and advises patients to discuss results with their healthcare provider to determine if further screening is needed. This applies directly to patients receiving chest x-ray results with abnormalities, ensuring they receive clear, standardized information. The law aims to increase patient awareness and encourage proactive conversations about personal health risks with their doctors. The Commissioner of Health must adopt implementing rules under the Administrative Procedure Act.
