This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 13-3733, which establishes specific requirements for maintaining medical records. Under the new law, individuals submitting claims for payment for goods or services must maintain adequate records for at least five years, ensuring that they fully disclose the nature of the goods or services and all income and expenditures related to payment rates. Additionally, the bill mandates that individuals must report the destruction of such records.

Violations of these requirements would result in legal consequences, with a class 1 misdemeanor for failing to maintain necessary records and a class 2 misdemeanor for failing to report their destruction. This update aims to enhance accountability and transparency in the handling of medical records, thereby improving the integrity of claims submitted for payment.
