GETTING MEDICAL RECORDS RECORDS OF NON-PARTIES |
(The information on this site applies to Florida only)
The Florida Supreme Court has held that if a law suit has been filed and the trial judge determines that the medical records of a patient who is not a party to the suit are relevant and material to issues in the case, they may be produced after elimination of identifying information of the patient, like name, address, social security number etc. See Amente v. Newman, 653 So.2d 1030 (Fla. 1995).
