Frequently Asked Questions

Can providers charge for these records?

Yes, under HIPAA, providers can charge a 'reasonable, cost-based fee' for labor, supplies, and postage, but not for the time spent searching for the records.

How long do they have to respond?

Federal law requires a response within 30 days, though they can request one 30-day extension if they provide a reason.
