Boards and investigators can subpoena health records

The law lets health care providers share patient records when investigators issue a subpoena under 46-4-301 or a similar federal law. Providers can also share records when a state licensing board uses an administrative subpoena in an investigation or discipline case. This expands access for enforcement and oversight but reduces some patient privacy. Other laws that bar disclosure still apply.
