RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 185 (HB 27) 2024 Regular Session Melerine
Existing law provides that a health care provider shall disclose records of a patient who is
a party to litigation pursuant to subpoena issued in that litigation if the health care provider
received an affidavit of the party or the party's attorney at whose request the subpoena has
been issued that attests to the fact that such subpoena is for the records of a party of the
litigation and that notice of the subpoena has been mailed by registered or certified mail to
the patient whose records are sought.
New law expands existing law to provide that the notice of the subpoena may be delivered
by commercial courier as defined by C.C.P. Art. 1313(D).
