Health Care - As introduced, requires a healthcare provider to provide to a patient or a patient's authorized representative a copy of the patient's medical records within 20 working days of receipt of a written request by the patient or representative instead of 10 working days. - Amends TCA Title 63 and Title 68.

HB 866 amends Tennessee law to extend the deadline for healthcare providers to provide patients or their authorized representatives with medical records from 10 to 20 working days after receiving a written request. This change directly affects patients seeking their health records and healthcare providers subject to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 63 (healing arts) and Title 68. The key provision modifies the existing requirement by increasing the processing timeframe without altering other record-access rules. The bill was introduced in the Tennessee House of Representatives on February 4, 2025, and is pending further legislative action.
