Click here to view the link to a summary of a proposed rule change being considered by the State Board of Health on May 21, 2008. The rule under consideration represents a significant reduction in the fee that can be charged to cover costs associated with production of a copy of a patient’s medical record. CHIMA is communicating with CHA on this issue and will be testifying on behalf of our association.
