The proposed bill aims to revise laws related to electronic health records by requiring health carriers to establish and maintain specific application programming interfaces (APIs) for the benefit of insured individuals and contracted providers. These APIs include patient access, provider directory, provider access, payer-to-payer exchange, and prior authorization interfaces, all of which must comply with standards set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The bill mandates that these APIs be established by the earliest date required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Additionally, the bill addresses the privacy of electronic health records by prohibiting healthcare providers from engaging in information blocking when requesting medical laboratory tests. It stipulates that certain test results, including pathology and radiology reports that may indicate malignancy, genetic markers, positive HIV tests, and hepatitis infection indicators, must be disclosed to patients within 72 hours of finalization or upon the healthcare provider's direction. The bill also includes provisions for codification, severability, and specifies that it will take effect on January 1, 2026, with certain sections effective upon passage and approval.
