Patient access to medical records

Colorado patient records access
active

Colorado gives patients and their personal representatives the right to inspect and obtain copies of their medical records, including X-rays, from health facilities and individual providers, consistent with HIPAA's access exceptions. Records must be delivered electronically when requested and kept electronically, inspection is free, and copy fees are limited to what HIPAA allows. The Colorado Privacy Act exempts health-care information governed by this part for purposes of records access.
