Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 64B15-15.006 - Maintenance/Ownership of Patient Records
(1) The
records required in this section and any other patient records shall be
properly annotated to identify the physician of record. The physician of record
is the physician who:
(a) Is noted in the
patient record as the physician of record, or
(b) Provides a treatment or service and is
noted in the patient record as the physician of record for that treatment or
service, or
(c) If there has been
more than one provider of treatment, does the surgical procedure, makes the
diagnosis or finishes the service or procedure in question, or
(d) If there has been more than one provider
of treatment and neither paragraph (a) or (b), can be determined with
reasonable certainty, is the owner physician of the practice in which the
patient was seen or treated. However, in situations where the physician is
employed by a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Corporation, Professional
Association, or has entered into a contractual arrangement with state-chartered
regional organizations known as Community Health Purchasing Alliances or CHPAs,
the employing entity owns the records.
(2) All patient records required by this rule
and any additional records maintained in the course of treatment shall be the
property of the owner physician or the employing entity as noted in paragraph
(1)(d).
(3) The owner physician or
the employing entity are ultimately responsible for all record keeping
requirements set forth by statute or rule.
