Prosecutors Deny HIPAA Violations in Mangione Health Records Dispute

They maintain that Aetna mistakenly provided more documents than requested, which were deleted before prosecutors urged the court to reject the suppression motion

Overview

  • Assistant District Attorney Joel Seidemann said the subpoena targeted only Mangione’s insurance account number and coverage period.
  • Prosecutors reported that Aetna over-produced confidential medical files beyond the subpoena’s scope.
  • The excess records were deleted upon discovery and the court and defense were promptly notified.
  • Defense lawyers then inadvertently emailed the full Aetna file back to prosecutors after it had been deleted.
  • Prosecutors asked a judge to deny the defense’s motion to suppress the records and to set a trial date.
