This law limits how long a medical facility must respond to disease-exposure requests. Duties end 30 days after the treatment or 60-day period runs out, with one exception.

A medical facility's duties under this part are limited two ways. (1) They only cover medical information the facility had while treating the victim for the emergency, or during the 60 days starting when the victim arrived — whichever period ends first. (2) The duties stop completely 30 days after that first period ends. The one exception: if the facility already got a request under section 300ff–133(c) before that 30-day period ended, the duties still apply to that request.

The duties established in this part for a medical facility—

(1)

shall apply only to medical information possessed by the facility during the period in which the facility is treating the victim for conditions arising from the emergency, or during the 60-day period beginning on the date on which the victim is transported by emergency response employees to the facility, whichever period expires first; and

(2)

shall not apply to any extent after the expiration of the 30-day period beginning on the expiration of the applicable period referred to in paragraph (1), except that such duties shall apply with respect to any request under section 300ff–133(c) of this title received by a medical facility before the expiration of such 30-day period.
