STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31290 / S1353
This legislation amends Title 39, Idaho Code, to set a reasonable maximum charge to patients obtaining a copy
of their own records from a physician or other health care service. Idaho provides no guidelines, and this
legislation is intended to prevent price gouging of a patient in receiving a copy of their own medical records.
FISCAL NOTE
No cost to the general fund is anticipated. There may be a nominal cost to a health care provider, however, fees
charged to the patient for medical services may be adequate to cover the cost.
