Maryland Confidentiality of Medical Records Act

Maryland's medical records law requires health care providers to keep patient records confidential and disclose them only as the subtitle or other law allows, gives patients rights to see, copy, and seek corrections to their records, and criminalizes obtaining records under false pretenses. Recent amendments restrict health information exchanges and electronic health networks from sharing abortion, mifepristone, and other legally protected sensitive-service data, and require HIE opt-out consent management.
