HB 1664 -- Dental Records

Sponsor:  Behnen

This bill requires dentists to maintain complete and adequate
patient records.  Records must be retained for at least five
years from the date of the last professional service.  Any
addition or change to a patient's record made more than 48 hours
after the final entry will be entered as an addendum and will
specify the time; date; name of person making the addition,
correction, or change; and the reason for the change.

Laboratory work orders are also required to be maintained for
five years.
