This bill establishes a new requirement for health care providers in Oklahoma regarding the retention of medical records. Specifically, it mandates that health care providers, including wholly owned suppliers and subcontractors, must retain any records necessary to disclose the extent of services provided to recipients for a minimum period of ten years. This new provision will be codified as Section 5009.7 of Title 63 in the Oklahoma Statutes.

The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, ensuring that health care providers are compliant with the new retention requirements by that date. This legislative change aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the health care system by ensuring that comprehensive records are maintained for a significant duration.
