Transfer or copies of patient records upon the sale or relocation of a practice. Requires practitioners who are relocating a professional practice to notify the patient at his last known address and by newspaper publication of such relocation. Present law requires this notice in the case of a sale of a practice. The notice must also disclose the charges, if any, that will be billed by the practitioner for providing the patient copies of his records. The charges for retrieval, copying, and mailing medical records set forth in § 8.01-413 shall not apply to requests for medical records because of a sale or relocation of a professional practice. This bill is identical to HB 1870.
