## 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 encounter, the provider, and the fact the record states, with the page. Do not diagnose and do not say a duty was breached. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide whether any duty was breached. 45 CFR § 164.502 limits use and disclosure of the records. Section 164.524 requires a covered entity to act on an access request 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 using a different period. Formal Opinion 512 applies before the records go into a tool. This chronology does not also build a liability table. |
