Question

liana and sabine had a motor vehicle accident, and sabine has sued liana claiming severe back injuries. if liana wants to obtain a copy of sabine's doctor and hospital reports, she should serve a request for admissions to sabine.

Answer 1

No, serving a request for admissions is not the correct way for Liana to obtain Sabine's medical records. Sabine's medical records are protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and therefore, Liana cannot obtain those records without Sabine's consent or a court order.

If Liana wants to obtain Sabine's medical records, she can request that Sabine sign a HIPAA release form authorizing the release of the records to her. Alternatively, Liana can seek a court order to obtain the records. However, simply serving a request for admissions is not the appropriate method for obtaining medical records.
