The New York State Comptroller’s Office doesn’t have to obtain written permission from patients before seeking their records through a subpoena to a medical provider for an audit on state-issued payments to that company, the New York Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.
A subpoena issued from the Comptroller’s Office to The Plastic Surgery Group in Albany, New York, was upheld by the state high court because the inquiry was made as part of an investigation.
