Effective July 1, 2024, non-hospital medical providers in Tennessee can only charge a flat fee of twenty dollars ($20) for an electronic copy of medical records requested by anyone other than the patient for “patients involved in a claim or appeal of denial for social security disability benefits.” Requests for paper records will continue to incur additional costs. (TN Public Chapter No. 737).

NOSSCR is pleased to see this claimant-friendly change. Should you wish to lobby your state representatives for similar changes, please reach out to NOSSCR for assistance.
