The U.S. Attorney's Office in San Francisco issued a subpoena to Tenet Healthcare Corporation for concerns regarding medical directorships and physician relocation agreements at Tenet's 123-bed San Ramon Regional Medical Center, according to Business Wire. The subpoena stated provisions of HIPAA as the cause.
"We believe this subpoena is consistent with previously disclosed federal reviews of Tenet's physician relationships and medical directorships at a number of its hospitals in several states," Tenet's general counsel E. Peter Urbanowicz told Business Wire.
Tenet plans to cooperate fully. Go to the Tenet Web site for more information.
