Electronic Health Networks and Electronic Medical Record Vendors of Nursing Homes - Release of Records - Fees

Summary

The bill changes Maryland law so that electronic health networks and electronic medical record vendors serving nursing homes may now charge a fee when they release patient records or health‑care transactions to a nursing home’s business associate. It affects nursing homes, their vendors, and the patients whose records are shared, removing the previous ban on such fees. The change is intended to give vendors flexibility to cover costs while still requiring timely electronic delivery of records.
