Florida S1140 aims to enhance patient access to medical records by setting specific timeframes and conditions for record provision.
Florida S1140 amends several sections of Florida Statutes to standardize and expedite the process for patients and their legal representatives to access their medical records. The bill mandates that health care providers furnish written requests for patient records within 30 days, with specific provisions for psychiatric records and nursing home records. It also limits fees for electronic copies to $6.50 per request and prohibits per-page fees for electronic records.
