Section 7.27.655. Data from the immunization information system.

	(a)  A request for patient-specific data from the immunization information system maintained by the department will be responded to only if made by an authorized health care provider for information about a patient under its care, by a public health authority for patients within its jurisdiction, or as otherwise allowed under 7 AAC 27.893(b). Except as described in 7 AAC 27.893(b), a request from a person other than an authorized health care provider, from an authorized health care provider for data beyond that of a specific patient under its care, or from a public health authority for data beyond that of patients within the public health authority's jurisdiction will be considered on a case-by-case basis in the interest of public health practice and will be responded to only with aggregate or de-identified data.  
	(b)  To cover the cost of reproduction, printing, mailing, and distribution of data from the immunization information system, the department will charge a fee of $10 per patient for each patient-specific immunization data request. However the department will not charge a fee to  
		(1) a health care provider that is an individual;  
		(2) a clinic;  
		(3) a hospital;  
		(4) a school; or  
		(5) a program under the department.  
	(c)  In this section, "public health authority" has the meaning given in 45 C.F.R. 164.501.
