Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Code of Civil Procedure. Defines "health care practitioner" and changes all existing references to "physician" to "health care practitioner" in provisions regarding the examination of a patient's health records. Provides that records of a health care facility or health care practitioner shall be made available for examination or copying to the patient's health care practitioner or authorized attorney, any person, entity, or organization presenting a valid authorization for the release of records signed by the patient or the patient's legally authorized representative. Provides that a reasonable copying fee may be charged for record requests from patients, health care practitioners, attorneys, employers or insurers for worker's compensation purposes, and subpoenas. Repeals provisions concerning records of health care practitioners (these provisions are added to other existing provisions). In provisions concerning copying fees, removes references to provisions that are repealed.
