The Indiana Department of Insurance adopted its final guidelines for medical records copying charges, increasing those charges over objections voiced last summer by the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies and the Insurance Institute of Indiana, according to the Institute.
The final rule establishes the following charges for copying patient medical records: $1 per page for the first 10 pages; $.50 per page for pages 11-50; $.25 per page for pages 51 and higher. A labor fee, not to exceed $20, may be charged. The actual costs of mailing the medical records may be collected. Also, a charge not to exceed $20 may be charged for certifying a patient’s medical records.
Gov. Mitch Daniels approved the new rule on Sept. 14, 2005. The final rule adoption was announced in the Nov. 1, 2005, issue of the Indiana Register.
