Pennsylvania HB409 amends the Patient Test Result Information Act to revise notification requirements for diagnostic imaging test results.
HB409 amends the Patient Test Result Information Act to modify how diagnostic imaging test results are communicated to patients. It requires entities performing diagnostic imaging services to notify patients or their designees if a significant abnormality is detected. The notice must include the ordering health care practitioner's name, the test date, the results' transmission date, and a statement recommending discussion with the practitioner. Certain tests, like routine obstetrical ultrasounds and inpatient diagnostic imaging, are exempt.
