Arguments before the state Supreme Court in a case that is set to determine whether pharmacists have been overcharging attorneys for records focused on the 1998 amendments to the Medical Records Act, attorneys who attended the argument session said.
During the argument session for Landay v. Rite Aid, which was held April 8 in Pittsburgh, the justices focused their questions on the legislative intent behind the use of the phrases “health care provider” and “patient” in the amendment, according to Pittsburgh attorney James M. Pietz, who argued before the court on behalf of the plaintiffs. The amendment outlined a price schedule governing the cost of records.
