Relates to providing copies of medical records to patients

This bill (A 1943) allows patients, parents of infants, legal guardians, or conservators to request written copies of medical records from doctors or hospitals. Providers must give the first copy for free, and additional paper copies may be charged up to $0.75 per page (or $0.20 per page for a second copy, capped at $100 total). It prohibits denying access due to inability to pay, requires electronic copies for government benefit applications without charge, and bans sharing infant venereal disease or abortion treatment records with parents/guardians. The law applies directly to healthcare providers and patients seeking their own health information.
