Bill > H2027

This bill proposes to establish a clear definition for "reasonable fee" when hospitals charge patients for copies of their health care records, specifically amending sections of Chapter 112 and Chapter 111 of the General Laws. The bill clarifies that a reasonable fee is limited to twenty-five cents per page for record copies and a maximum of twenty dollars per hour for any clerical or administrative work involved in fulfilling the request, aiming to make accessing personal health information more affordable for patients.
