Are Subpoenas Accepted for the Release of Information?
Yes. Subpoenas are accepted for the release of information. A provider may request that a signed authorization be provided instead of a subpoena; however, it has been confirmed with the Office of Civil Rights that as long as the provider can be given reasonable and satisfactory assurance that the patient had the opportunity to object to the service of the subpoena then records may be produced. LSI has made adjustments to its subpoena correspondence to include language noting that the Certificate Prerequisite and Notice of Intent are attached to provide the required satisfactory assurance for each subpoena served upon a covered entity.
