Texas Medical Radiologic Technologist (MRT) Jurisprudence Practice Exam

Medical records must be provided to the patient within how many business days of a written request?

10 15 20 30

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

When a patient requests their records in writing, Texas law requires that those records be provided or made available for inspection within 15 business days. This timeframe is there to ensure prompt access while giving the facility time to locate, assemble, and copy the records. If the records can’t be produced by that deadline, the custodian must notify the patient in writing with a reasonable estimate of when they will be available. Fees for copying are allowed as long as they’re reasonable, and records should be provided in the form requested if feasible (for example, an electronic copy).
