State law for this request: South Dakota
- Response deadline
- 30 days (HIPAA)South Dakota law (SDCL § 36-2-16.2) requires providers to give copies on written request but sets no deadline, so HIPAA applies: 30 days, with one 30-day extension if you are told in writing. (SDCL §§ 36-2-16.1 to 36-2-16.8 (SL 2023 ch 134; § 36-2-16 repealed), 45 CFR 164.524)
- Copy fees
- $0.33/pageSDCL § 36-2-16.4 caps paper copies at $10 for the first 10 pages plus $0.33 per additional page and electronic copies at $0.25 per page, plus postage and tax; an $18 search fee (§ 36-2-16.5) applies only to third-party/designee requests and certification is up to $10 (§ 36-2-16.6). HIPAA's reasonable, cost-based limit also applies to patients' own requests, so the lower amount governs. (SDCL §§ 36-2-16.1 to 36-2-16.8 (SL 2023 ch 134; § 36-2-16 repealed), SDCL § 36-2-16.4, 45 CFR 164.524)
