270.993 Disruptive Visits to Medical Offices by Government Investigators and Agents:
MSSNY will support legislation and/or other appropriate means to ensure that State and Federal investigators and/or agents give a physician written notice prior to a visit to a medical office so that such visit may be scheduled upon mutual agreement at a time when patients are not present in the medical office in any circumstance which lawfully permits a visit to a medical office without notice, such as a search warrant, arrest warrant or subpoena, investigators and/or agents should be required to initially identify themselves to appropriate medical staff in a quiet and confidential way that allows the physician an opportunity to comply in a manner that is least disruptive and threatening to the patients in the medical office at the time.
