Medical Record Retrieval by State

Copy fees, production deadlines, and retention rules are set state by state, and they decide what a record costs, how long a facility can stall, and whether the chart still exists. These guides put the statute behind each answer.

At a Glance: State Records Law

Federal HIPAA sets the floor: 30 days plus one 30-day extension on patient-access requests, and no deadline at all on attorney-authorization requests. States layer their own fee schedules, faster clocks, and retention periods on top. LlamaLab tracks the applicable deadline in every jurisdiction and returns records in 4 days on average, with 30 to 40% same day.
