Prosecutors Deny Violating Luigi Mangione's Health Privacy Rights
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, AUG 8 – Manhattan prosecutors say they only requested routine insurance details and deleted extra medical records after insurer Aetna mistakenly provided 120 pages of private data, court filings show.
- On Friday, Manhattan prosecutors denied lying on a subpoena to access Luigi Mangione’s medical records, asserting they sought only 'entirely unremarkable' details from Aetna.
- Last month, the defense alleged prosecutors 'were plainly lying to get the materials as soon as possible' and accused them of violating HIPAA by subpoenaing Aetna, CBS News reported.
- Prosecutors issued a valid subpoena to Aetna for limited records, and when Aetna over-disclosed records, they notified the court and defense and deleted the extra materials.
- Prosecutors urged the court to deny relief and set a trial date, with Mangione’s next appearance scheduled for Sept. 16.
- Beyond the state case, Mangione has pleaded not guilty to federal charges that could lead to the death penalty, with prosecutors signaling their intent to seek it if convicted.
