Louisiana HB1138 mandates healthcare providers to obtain patient consent before posting serious medical test results on online patient portals.
Louisiana HB1138 requires healthcare providers to obtain written patient consent before posting medical test results indicating a serious medical condition on an online patient portal. The consent must be on a separate page, in plain language, and in a minimum twelve-point font. Once obtained, the consent remains valid until the patient revokes it in writing. A "serious medical condition" is defined as one that is life-threatening, significantly alters a patient's quality of life, or requires immediate or ongoing medical treatment.
