Subpoena Challenge

Laurie Adams, David Drahos, and Alexandra Paez, of the West Palm Beach office, successfully challenged a surgery center’s objections to their lengthy subpoena. They received extraordinary relief from the court including other patients’ billing records (with confidential information redacted), all fee schedules of surgeries for litigation patients, non-litigation patients, insurance patients, non-insurance patients, and Medicare and Medicaid patients, as well as all documents regarding materials at the surgery center’s cost. After a well written response by Alexandra, and critical deposition testimony and background investigation of the surgery center secured by David, Laurie successfully argued that the material was not only necessary to challenge the reasonableness of the surgery bill, for a two hour surgery (for which the center along charged 140K), but the records were necessary to strike the entire surgery center bill for failure to adhere to the Patient Self Referral Act which requires strict notification to patients when their surgeon is an owner of the surgery center where the surgery is performed.
