A law in South Carolina would limit the amount providers in the state can charge patients for receiving a copy of their electronic medical record (EMR).
The bill was introduced in the South Carolina House of Representatives last week and would limit providers to charing a per page rate of 10 cents. Currently, the law sets the rate at 65 cents per page. This rate, which has a rate of 50 cents per page after the first 30 pages, was enacted by the South Carolina Physicians’ Patient Records Act in 1992.
