Valarie,
I found the following on VA’s Board of Medicine website (http://www.dhp.virginia.gov/medicine/medicine_faq.htm#Medical_Records)
·
Applicable law: Virginia Code 32.1-127.1:03
·
Health providers have 15 days to respond.
·
The provider may impose a reasonable fee for cost of supplies and labor.
Hope this helps out…

You are receiving this e-mail as a subscriber to the Virginia Records Officer Listserv (VA-ROL). # #
Does Virginia have an act or a law which states how long we have to provide a client with a copy of their medical records and if a charge for labor can be billed to them for
the service?
