Introduced by: John M. O'Bannon, III | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Copies of patient records when professional practice closed, sold or relocated; notice; charges. Modifies the provision requiring notice specifying that copies of records will be sent to any like-regulated provider of the patient's choice or provided to the patient when a practice is being closed, sold or relocated. This bill provides that the charges for the records must not exceed the actual costs of copying and mailing or delivering the records. "Current patient" is defined as "a patient who has had a patient encounter with the provider or his professional practice during the two-year period immediately preceding the date of the record transfer." "Relocation of a professional practice" is defined as "the moving of a practice located in Virginia from the location at which the records are stored at the time of the notice to another practice site that is located more than 30 miles away or to another practice site that is located in another state or the District of Columbia."
