NV SB250

Health care records of a patient are legally established as the property of the patient, and health care providers must allow patients to access and forward their electronic health records without any fee or charge.

Patients may prohibit any person or entity from accessing their individually identifiable health information, except for Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program recipients where access is deemed necessary by the Department.

The Director of Health and Human Services must adopt regulations to minimize patients repeatedly providing demographic information, medical history, and medication lists across providers.

Violations of the electronic health records access provisions constitute a misdemeanor, and health care providers, insurers, or administrators may face administrative sanctions for non-compliance.

The Director must submit quarterly implementation progress reports to the Governor and Legislature during 2026, with the bill taking effect January 1, 2026.
