HB 1104 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in rules of evidence, further providing for subpoena of records.

HB 1104 sets specific fees that must be paid to healthcare providers before they produce medical records in response to a subpoena. The bill establishes a detailed fee structure: $20.62 for searching and retrieving records, plus page-based charges (e.g., $1.39 per page for the first 20 pages of paper copies, with lower rates for additional pages), and a $200 maximum for electronic copies. These fees are adjusted annually using the consumer price index. The law directly affects healthcare providers and parties requesting medical records, requiring payment before records are released.
