CO HB 1414

enacted

Medical Record Requests

Colorado · 2026 Regular Session · lower

Description

The act caps at $400 the amount that a health-care entity or health-care provider may charge for a record request made by a patient's attorney or the attorney of the patient's personal representative pursuant to an authorization in compliance with the federal 'Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996', a valid subpoena, or a valid court order, if the requested record exceeds 664 pages. The health-care entity or health-care provider may charge a reasonable fee above the cap if the record request requires the health-care facility or health-care provider to segregate, withhold, or redact protected health information in order to comply with applicable law or the scope or limitations of the authorization in compliance with the federal 'Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996', a valid subpoena, or a valid court order. Beginning January 1, 2028, and every even-numbered year thereafter, the act requires the $400 limit to be adjusted for inflation. The act requires the requested medical records to be delivered in electronic format if the requestor requests electronic format, the original records are stored in electronic format, and the records are readily producible in electronic format. The act requires the health-care facility or health-care provider to provide the requestor with an invoice for the records provided in response to the record request within 30 days of receiving the request, and the health-care facility or health-care provider must provide the records upon payment of the invoice. If the health-care facility or health-care provider is unable to comply with the request for records within 30 days after the request, the health-care facility or health-care provider must send written notice of a 30-day extension to the requestor. The health-care facility or health-care provider must provide the records to the requestor at no cost if the records were not provided within 30 days or without written notice of an extension, unless the delay is due to a force majeure event. In the case of a force majeure event, the health-care facility or health-care provider must provide written notice to the requestor within 5 business days of becoming aware of the force majeure event. The 30-day time frame to respond to a request for records commences upon resolution of the force majeure event.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
