Kan. Admin. Regs. § 100-22-1 - Release of records

(a) Unless otherwise prohibited by law, each licensee shall, upon receipt of a signed release from a patient, furnish a copy of the patient record to the patient, to another licensee designated by the patient, or to a patient's legally designated representative. However, if the licensee reasonably determines that the information within the patient record is detrimental to the mental or physical health of the patient, then the licensee may withhold the record from the patient and furnish the record to another licensee designated by the patient.
(b) A licensee may charge a person or entity for reasonable costs to retrieve or reproduce a patient record. A licensee shall not condition the furnishing of a patient record to another licensee upon prepayment of these costs.
(c) Any departure from this regulation shall constitute prima facie evidence of dishonorable conduct pursuant to K.S.A. 65-2836(b), and any amendments thereto.
