MultiCare Subpoena Requirements & RCW 70.02.060 Compliance
Like all Washington healthcare institutions, MultiCare Health System strictly enforces the privacy safeguards of Washington's Uniform Health Care Information Act (Chapter 70.02 RCW) and HIPAA. When serving a third-party discovery Subpoena Duces Tecum on MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital without a signed patient release authorization, you must attach proof that you complied with RCW 70.02.060(1) by giving at least 14 days' prior written notice to the patient (or their counsel) before serving the subpoena on the hospital, and that the 14-day period expired without a motion for protective order being filed.
Additionally, under CR 45(b)(2), remember that in Washington Superior Court civil actions, a copy of any Subpoena Duces Tecum commanding document production from a non-party must be served on all other parties to the lawsuit at least 5 days before it is served on the non-party custodian.
