Attorney Subpoenas & 45 CFR 164.512
Hook / Verbiage
If an attorney serves your dental practice with a subpoena demanding patient records, do you hand them over?
Video Notes
Under federal HIPAA rule 45 CFR 164.512, an attorney’s subpoena alone does not permit disclosure! Unless accompanied by a judge’s signed court order or a signed patient authorization, releasing charts is an illegal HIPAA breach. Protect your license at MsdsSafety.com!
