Providing Clinical Records

 

There has been some confusion on how much RMTs can charge for clinical records. Please read carefully:

PIPA states that any health care provider shall not profit from providing clinical records to a patient or the patient’s lawyer (or other representative) that is asking for those records on behalf of that patient. 

For more information, please refer to the BC’s Personal Information Protection Act PDF. Page 33 of the document clearly explains “Charging fees for access” and an example is provided.
