Supreme Court of Maryland

Hollabaugh v. MRO Corporation

July 10, 2025

Summary

The Court held that Hollabaugh had standing at the motion-to-dismiss stage because her allegation that she reimbursed her attorney for the medical-records fee reasonably supported an inference that she personally suffered the alleged overpayment. It also held that the Confidentiality of Medical Records Act does not authorize a preparation fee for a medical-record search that produces no records, because the statutory phrase "retrieval and preparation" presupposes records that are actually retrieved and prepared. The judgment was affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for further proceedings.
