Some records, even if there is a valid subpoena, should not be turned over unless there is a court order or an express authorization to turn over the records.
Even if the patient makes an issue of their mental health in a lawsuit, there can be no waiver of the mental health record information - you must have an authorization or court order to turn over these records. However, in the face of a court order or authorization, a mental health provider still has a gatekeeper function, and can withhold the information if they reasonably believe the submission of this information could jeopardize the treatment of the patient. This video reviews the different types of special records that this applies to and how to respond when special information is included in a chart.
