Nebraska Medical Record Retention Law: https://www.law.cornell.edu/
THIS IS RECOMMENDED as there are no statutes for medical record retention in Nebraska Law Physicians: May retain medical records for at least 7 years after the last date of treatment. Hospitals: May retain medical records for at least 10 years after the patient’s discharge. Records for Minors: Records for minors may be retained until the minor reaches the age of majority (18 years) plus the standard retention period (7 years for physicians and 10 years for hospitals). This means records should generally be kept until the patient is 25 years old. X-rays and Diagnostic Images: Retained as part of the medical record, typically following the same retention period (7 or 10 years). Deceased Patients: The same retention periods apply (7 years for physicians, 10 years for hospitals) even after the patient’s death. Legal or Disputed Cases: If a medical record is involved in legal proceedings or disputes, it should be retained until the issue is resolved, even if it surpasses the standard retention period.
