CA/Prop 215 - can an accident attorney subpoena 215 medical info?

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hey guys!

Ill get straight to the point.

I was in an accident, police report says it was the other drivers fault, other driver is denying it.

I went to the chiropractor, he wants to do 20+ sessions within a few months. I have never told my general physician (2-3 years ago when I had one) about any back pain. SOLELY my 215 physician, when I was getting my 99 plant rec. Wrote it on the sheet that they make you fill out prior.

I know his insurance will subpoena my medical records, (i assume just my Kaiser records?) idk how subpoenas work, so I'm not sure if my 215 physician has given the sheet or any information about my back pain to any other agency that could give it up to the other parties attorneys?

His insurance doesnt even know I have my 215, Im just not positive if your 215 physician sends your records to any medical board or something? this could ruin my case and force me to pay the chiro bill and a lawyer bill (im broke).

The physician I usually go to is a kinda cheap and sketchy place that closed down, but they have other locations open and my script is still valid. [/FONT]

Highly unlikely ,

you should be in the clear

Just tell them you don't have any other doctors. If they subpoena your records they'll get with you, through your attorney, to list your doctors. You can give them your previous general physicians name who's records show no problems. Your 215 doctor shouldn't have shared your personal info with anyone. There's not a big clearing house type place of medical records they send everything too.

So why start 3 threads to ask the same question?

I had no idea where I would get an answer, and it turned out to be the California state by state section. Needed an answer by today. I'll get a mod to delete the threads.

Appreciate it guys!

Much love
