According to the lawsuit, one plaintiff alleged that Ciox Health charged her $77.50 to receive her EHR from a non-hospital urgent care clinic.
Another plaintiff said he was charged $150.58 to receive his EHRs from a hospital.
Both plaintiffs said these fees violated Texas law, which limits the fees that can be charged when requesting medical records.
According to plaintiffs, they should have only been charged $25 and $82.95, respectively, for their EHRs.
The lawsuit also claims Ciox Health charges “illegal additional fees” including an electronic data archive fee of $2.
Ciox Health hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing, but agreed to pay $1.85 million to resolve the allegations.
Under the terms of the settlement, plaintiffs can receive a cash payment of up to 100 percent of the total fees they paid.
