The issuer may provide the health care information in either paper or electronic format. An issuer is not required to provide a covered person or a covered person’s personal representative with a free copy of health care information that has previously been provided free of charge pursuant to a request within the preceding two years. For purposes of this section, “health care information” has the same meaning as in RCW 70.02.010.
