Chart Amendment
A correction or addition to an existing patient record that preserves the original entry and documents the reason for the change.
Why it matters
Proper chart amendments maintain the integrity of the medical record and support audit and compliance expectations.
State variation
How Chart Amendment applies can differ by state, provider credentials, and the treatments offered. NOVI’s state pages summarize the considerations for Texas, Florida, and California — but always confirm current rules for your jurisdiction with official sources.
