180.989 Realistic Time Frame to Comply with Requests for the Release of Medical Records:
In an attempt to minimize any accusations for professional misconduct for failure to comply within a reasonable period of time, with requests for copies of medical records, MSSNY will aggressively pursue modification to Section 18 of the New York State Public Health Law which would redefine the “reasonable period of time” which physicians have to comply with requests for copies of medical records from its current definition of 10 days to a more realistic 30 days.
