Legal Question in Health Care Law in Montana
Medical Records Retention
Can you Please tell me how long a medical facility is required to keep medical records for the following populations of people:
1. Deceased People
2. Minor Children
3. Current Patients
if there any special stipulations or exceptions for any of these three populations, I would also need to know them. Thank you

Re: Medical Records Retention
HIPPA covers some of this and is available online, but your best bet is to have the attorney's office respond to this question so you can rely upon the respnse.
