HB 571 | Protect the Privacy of Patients’ Medical Data

Patient’s medical data is being merged with other metadata to create “health risk scores” that can be used to discriminate against patients’ right to access to medical care.  This bill put sideboards on the practice and required medical professionals to notify patients when third-party data was utilized.

  • Prohibits medical practitioners or healthcare facilities from using third-party predictive analysis for diagnosis or treatment decisions without disclosure to a patient.
