  § 29.18 Client service report.
    (a)  The  commissioner  shall establish a client service report system
  for the purpose of  providing  notification  of  services  or  treatment
  provided  to individual patients or clients to such patients or clients,
  to persons duly  authorized  to  represent  such  patients  or  clients,
  including  a  parent  or  parents,  legal  guardian  or next-of-kin if a
  patient or client is a minor, and to appropriate directors of  community
  services and social services as hereinafter prescribed.
    (b)  A  client  service  report  shall be prepared for each patient or
  client receiving services or treatment  in  a  department  facility,  or
  program  to  include,  but  not be limited to, information regarding the
  types, location, date and estimated  costs  of  services  and  names  of
  persons  responsible  for  providing  such  services  to each patient or
  client during the course of his treatment or during  each  twelve  month
  period of treatment, whichever time period is shorter. Such report shall
  be  made  available  as hereinafter prescribed no later than thirty days
  after the end of such course of treatment if such course  is  less  than
  twelve  months  in  duration,  or  after  the  anniversary  date  of the
  patient's  admission  to  a  department  facility  or  of  the   initial
  participation  in  a program or course of treatment of an individual who
  is not a resident of the department facility if the program or course of
  treatment is more than twelve months in duration.
    (c) Upon request, such client service report shall be  made  available
  to  the patient or client, or to a person or persons representing him on
  his  behalf,  including  the  parent  or  parents,  legal  guardian   or
  next-of-kin,  if such patient or client is a minor. At their request and
  with the consent of the commissioner and the  patient  or  client,  such
  client  service  report  shall  be  made  available  to  the appropriate
  director of community services and/or social  services  and  the  mental
  hygiene legal service.
    (d) The commissioner shall establish procedures for making such client
  service  reports  available to the persons provided in this section, and
  for advising patients and clients, their representatives,  directors  of
  community  services  and  social  services  and the mental hygiene legal
  service  of  the  availability  of  such  reports  and  the  established
  procedures for obtaining them.
