COA Affirms Health Services Provider In Contempt For Not Producing Records

COA Affirms Health Services Provider In Contempt For Not Producing Records

Olivia Covington for www.theindianalawyer.com

The Indiana Court of Appeals has affirmed that Meridian Health Services was in contempt of court when it failed to provide a patient’s father with her health records after a subpoena ordered the health services provider to do so.

In Meridian Health Services Corporation v. Thomas Martin Bell, 71A04-1511-DR-2005, Thomas Bell contacted Meridian in March 2015 and requested his daughter K.B.’s therapy records in reference to an ongoing domestic relations matter with his ex-wife, Angela Bell, who had agreed to a parenting schedule for K.B. that gave her mother primary physical custody.

Meridian initially told Thomas Bell that he would have to submit a signed medical release to access his daughter’s records, then later denied him the records based on a letter from K.B.’s physician that said releasing the records would have a negative impact on her ability to speak freely in her therapy sessions. Meridian’s counsel said it would only release the records if Thomas Bell produced a court order.

Angela Bell then filed a motion to suspend her ex-husband’s parenting time, citing emotional abuse against K.B. His parenting time was reduced to phone contact until an evidentiary hearing was held on July 21, 2015. To prepare for that hearing Thomas Bell served a notice of deposition on K.B.’s therapist and a subpoena for the therapist to produce her complete file related to her time with K.B.

Meridian filed a motion to quash and a motion for protective order on July 13, saying that federal law prohibited it from releasing K.B.’s records without a court order. K.B.’s therapist failed to appear for her deposition on July 16, so Thomas Bell filed a motion for contempt of court.

K.B.’s physician and therapist each testified at a hearing in St. Joseph Superior Court on Sept. 8, 2015, that they believed releasing K.B.’s records would have a negative impact on her therapy sessions. However, the court denied Meridian’s motions to quash the order and for a protective order a week later.

The trial court said that because Thomas Bell shared legal custody of K.B. with his ex-wife, there was no court order limiting his access to her records. However, the judge also admonished both Thomas and Angela Bell for not to let their daughter know that they had access to her records. Meridian filed a motion to correct error on Sept. 25, saying the trial court’s interpretation of laws governing access to medical records conflicted with the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

On Sept. 29, Thomas Bell served a second deposition notice and subpoena on K.B.’s therapist to appear on Oct. 2. He also filed a petition for attorney fees. Meridian filed a motion to stay the proceedings pending a rule on the motion to correct error and also asked for an emergency hearing, which could not be granted before the deposition. Thus, Meridian gave K.B.’s records directly to the trial court on Oct. 2, but asked that they remained sealed until the pending motions were resolved.

After a hearing on Oct. 6, the trial court made K.B.’s records available for in-camera review. Thomas Bell also filed a verified affidavit for attorney fees totaling nearly $5,900 that day. The court granted the petition for attorney fees based on its decision to deny Meridian’s motion to quash and motion for protective order, and ordered the health services provider to pay Martin Bell’s counsel $6,279.

Meridian appealed, saying that it was justified in challenging his discovery request based on federal and state statutes relating to mental health records.

But in its opinion Wednesday, the Indiana Court of Appeals wrote that there was no order in place that limited Thomas Bell’s access to his daughter’s records as a noncustodial parent, and no order was ever requested by Meridian or Angela Bell. Thus, Thomas Bell was entitled to his daughter’s records.

Further, the appellate court wrote that although Meridian did initially have a right to deny Thomas Bell’s access to the records based on HIPAA laws, that right was waived once the matter went to court.

Although the Indiana Court of Appeals wrote that it understood Meridian was trying to protect K.B. when it did not comply with the order to release her files, it also said that the therapist’s failure to appear at depositions and the act of giving the records directly to the court under seal rather than to Thomas Bell interfered with the trial court’s management of the issue. Thus, the attorney fees sanctions was justified.

Charra is currently VHS’ LONGEST dog resident. She was found as a stray on Evansville’s north side, so her background is pretty blank, and her breed(s) are only a guess. VHS thinks she is likely a hound mixed with some American Staffordshire Terrier. She earned a GREEN on her temperament test, meaning she’s great with kids. She’s active so she’d be a great walking or running companion. Charra’s $100 adoption fee includes her spay, microchip, vaccines, heartworm test, and more!

Indiana Woman-Owned Technology Company Adding Hundreds of Hoosier Jobs

0

 Indianapolis – Knowledge Services, an information technology and professional services company, announced plans today to grow its Indianapolis headquarters, with plans to employ 1,200 Hoosiers by 2019.
“Indiana’s talented workforce, favorable business climate and low cost of living have helped put the Hoosier state on the national stage as one of the fastest growing tech hubs,” said Governor Mike Pence. “We have worked diligently to cut costs, lower taxes and reduce regulations, allowing companies like Knowledge Services to see the benefits of doing business in a state that works. Over the next decade, we will build on this momentum and invest $1 billion to support Hoosier entrepreneurs and innovators, ensuring that Indiana continues to be the best place to start a business, grow a business and get a job.”

The woman-owned company, which provides cloud software and services to large, complex organizations, committed to creating 400 new jobs by 2019 and has already made significant strides in its job commitment. This is Knowledge Services’ third expansion announcement in five years, following a 2011 announcement to add 200 jobs and a 2013 announcement to add another 400. The company continues to outpace its job creation goals and has increased its Indiana employment by 70 percent in just the last three years.

Knowledge Services will invest $2.1 million to expand its office space over the next four years to accommodate its growing team. Based on increased demand for the company’s workforce management solution systems, Knowledge Services must grow to meet the needs of its client base across the U.S. The company moved into its 23,000-square-foot office at 5875 Castle Creek Parkway North Dr. on Indianapolis’ north side in 2009 and is currently evaluating options to expand its footprint to 40,000 square feet.

“Indiana continues to be a great place that is conducive for growth and prosperity,” said Julie Bielawski, chief executive officer at Knowledge Services. “Many factors played into Knowledge Services’ commitment to growing in the Hoosier state. Not only does Indiana offer a favorable business climate, but they also have placed a great emphasis on growing the advanced technology sector.”

Founded in 1994, Knowledge Services now employs 2,000 associates across the United States, including approximately 1,100 in Indiana. The company is continuing to hire experienced software developers, program specialists, client service associates, sales team members and marketing professionals. Interested applicants may apply online through the company’s website.

Knowledge Services designs, develops and markets cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) and mobile applications for workforce management solutions, which provide cost savings, process efficiencies and improved governance. Serving clients throughout the U.S., Knowledge Services’ customers include government agencies and Fortune 500 companies such as Hill-Rom, Disney and Mattel. The company gives back to the Indianapolis community by supporting the Indianapolis Public Library Foundation, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and Toys for Tots.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered GuideSoft Inc. (dba Knowledge Services) up to $2,100,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Indianapolis supports the project in partnership with Develop Indy, a business unit of the Indy Chamber.

“Information technology in Indianapolis is stronger than ever,” said Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett. “With the increasing number of technology companies calling Indianapolis home, organizations like Knowledge Services provide much-needed talent and workforce management solutions to keep our community competitive in a 21st century economy. We applaud today’s announcement of over 400 new jobs in Indianapolis and support the continued growth of Knowledge Services to meet the needs of a booming industry sector.”

Knowledge Services’ growth follows Governor Mike Pence’s announcement of a plan to invest $1 billion in innovation and entrepreneurship in Indiana over the next 10 years to advance growth and solutions across all Hoosier sectors, including the state’s growing tech industry. From 2012 to 2014, Indiana’s technology sector added jobs at a rate of 18 percent, which is three times faster than the national average, and the Indianapolis area ranks No.5 in the nation for women in tech (Fast Company).
