## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Health & Medical Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/health-and-medical-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | In date order, list the visit, the provider, and the fact the record states. In a second table, list the issue the lawyer names and the pages that relate to it. Do not diagnose and do not state a breach of duty. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide which facts matter and whether any duty was breached. 45 CFR § 164.502 limits use and disclosure of protected health information by a covered entity or a business associate. Section 164.524 requires the covered entity to act on a request for access no later than 30 days after receipt, with one extension of no more than 30 days if it gives a written statement of the reasons and the completion date. You read the exception in § 164.524(b)(2) before relying on a different period. Formal Opinion 512 applies before the records go into a tool. The chronology is not a medical opinion. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: In date order, list the visit, the provider, and the fact the record states. In a second table, list the issue the lawyer names and the pages that relate to it. Do not diagnose and do not state a breach of duty.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Denial grounds in § 164.524 were not restated. Open them before telling a client that access was properly refused.
- Do not add a diagnosis that is not written in the record.
