The disclosure of certain medical information by electronic means

Texas Senate Bill 922, enacted in 2025, requires a three-day delay before certain sensitive medical test results—specifically pathology or radiology reports indicating potential malignancy or genetic markers—are made available to patients through electronic means like online portals. This delay aims to allow healthcare providers time to discuss the results with patients personally, ensuring they receive critical information in a supportive and informative manner.

The Texas Public Policy Foundation, a conservative think tank, has expressed concerns about the bill, suggesting it may impede the timely access to medical information and potentially delay necessary treatments.
