Q
(d) Access is infeasible.
A
A healthcare provider may block access to EHI if (i) extraordinary circumstances beyond its control prevent the provider from fulfilling the request; (ii) the provider cannot segregate the requested EHI from other information that is not subject to access; or (iii) the provider demonstrates that responding to the request is not feasible due to, e.g., the type of information, cost, available resources, control of the relevant platform, etc. Within ten (10) days of the request, the provider must notify the requestor in writing of the reason for failing to provide the access requested. (45 C.F.R. § 171.204; see 85 FR 25865-70).
