2. A person licensed to practice a health care profession regulated by the State Board of Medical Examiners shall provide copies of professional treatment and billing records, including treatment records from other health care providers that are part of a patient's record, to a patient, the patient's legally authorized representative, or an authorized third party in accordance with the following: a. No later than 30 days after receipt of a request from a patient, a patient's legally authorized representative, or an authorized third party, the licensee shall provide an electronic copy or photocopy of the professional treatment records, billing records, or both, as requested. The record shall include all pertinent, objective data, including test results and x-ray results, as applicable, and subjective information. b. Unless otherwise required by law, a licensee may elect to provide a summary of the record in lieu of providing the electronic copy or photocopy required pursuant to subsection a. of this section, provided that the summary adequately reflects the patient's history and treatment. A licensee may charge a reasonable fee for the preparation of a summary that has been provided in lieu of the actual record, which shall not exceed the cost that would be charged for the actual record pursuant to subsection d. of this section; however, a patient, a patient's legally authorized representative, or an authorized third party shall have the right to receive a full or certified copy of the patient's treatment record. The fee for certification shall be no more than $10 per certification. c. If, in the exercise of the licensee's professional judgment, a licensee has reason to believe that the patient's mental or physical condition will be adversely affected upon being made aware of the subjective information contained in the professional treatment record or a summary of the record, the licensee may refuse to provide the record or summary to the patient. The licensee shall include in the record a notice setting forth the reasons for the original refusal. The licensee shall, however, provide a copy of the record or summary upon request to: (1) the patient's attorney; (2) another licensed health care professional; (3) the patient's health insurance carrier through an employee thereof; (4) a governmental reimbursement program or an agent thereof, with responsibility to review utilization or quality of care; or (5) an authorized third party. d.

A search fee that may be charged pursuant to this paragraph shall apply even if no individual treatment or billing record is found as a result of the search; and (4) The costs for delivering records in any medium, plus sales tax, if applicable. A licensee shall not assess any fees or charges for a copy of a patient's treatment or billing records as provided herein other than those provided for in this section. e.

Delivery of an electronic copy of a patient treatment or billing record to the requestor shall be required only if: (1) the entire request can be reproduced from an electronic health record system; (2) the record is specifically requested to be delivered in electronic format; and (3) the record can be delivered electronically. g. A licensee shall not charge a patient for a copy of the patient's treatment or billing record when: (1) the licensee has affirmatively terminated a patient from practice in accordance with the requirements of N.J.A.C.13:35-6.22; or (2) the licensee leaves a practice that the licensee was formerly a member of, or associated with, and the patient requests that the patient's medical care continue to be provided by that licensee. h. If the patient or a subsequent treating health care professional is unable to read the treatment record, either because it is illegible or prepared in a language other than English, the licensee shall provide a transcription or translation, as applicable, at no cost to the patient. i. The licensee shall not refuse to provide a professional treatment record on the grounds that the patient owes the licensee an unpaid balance if the record is needed by another health care professional for the purpose of rendering care. j. The fees authorized by this section shall not be imposed on: (1) A patient who does not have the ability to pay and who presents either: (a) a statement certifying to annual income at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level; or (b) proof of eligibility for, or enrollment in, a State or federal assistance program including, but not limited to: the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program established pursuant to the "Food and Nutrition Act of 2008," Pub.L.110-246 (7 U.S.C. s.2011 et seq.); the federal Supplemental Security Income program established pursuant to Title XVI of the federal Social Security Act, Pub.L.92-603 (42 U.S.C. s.1381 et seq.); the National School Lunch Program established pursuant to the "Richard B.
