https://casetext.com/

* Wyoming does not have state law or code that directly guides private practice medical record retention policies.
* A hospital which receives or has received Medicaid funds shall retain financial records for six (6) years following the date of submission of the applicable cost report to the Department. Such records may be maintained in hard-copy, on micro-fiche or micro-film.

Cost

A physician may establish reasonable charges, and charge a patient for the actual costs incurred in responding to a patient's request for copies of any portion of a patient's medical record. Such costs may include the cost of copies, clerical staff time and the physician's time in reviewing and summarizing the records and/or x-rays and diagnostic records, if necessary. The patient requesting medical records is responsible for payment of all such charges; however, a patient shall not be denied a summary or a copy of requested medical records because of inability to pay.
