California SB980 prohibits health care providers from charging fees for completing forms related to public benefit eligibility or school.

California SB980 amends the Health and Safety Code to ensure that health care providers cannot charge patients for filling out forms or providing information for public benefit eligibility claims or school participation. This includes forms for programs like Medi-Cal, CalWORKs, and Social Security Disability Insurance. The bill also allows providers to honor requests for patient record disclosure if the request is signed by the patient or their representative.
