HB 2427 Patient health records.
Introduced by: S. Chris Jones | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)
Patient health records. Clarifies that no person receiving patient records from the patient or a provider can redisclose or otherwise reveal the records of the patient, beyond the purpose for which the disclosure was made, without first obtaining the patient’s specific consent to the redisclosure. This redisclosure prohibition does not prevent (i) any provider who receives records from another provider from making subsequent disclosures as permitted by the law or (ii) any provider from furnishing records and aggregate or other data, from which patient-identifying information has been removed, encoded, or encrypted, to qualified researchers, including, but not limited to, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and their agents or contractors, for purposes of clinical, pharmaco-epidemiological, pharmaco-economic, or other health services research. “Patient-identifying prescription information” includes all prescriptions, drug orders or any other prescription information that specifically identifies an individual patient. This bill also modifies the subdivision relating to disclosure to third-party payors and their agents to note that such disclosure may be made for purposes of reimbursement. This bill is identical to SB 1010.
