Can the Dental Board of California demand records without ordinary patient-request timing?
A licensee generally has 15 days to answer a Board records request. A facility generally has 30 days to answer a Board demand in the facility lane. Do not collapse Board-demand timing into the patient 5-day and 15-day access framework.
