21-3853 Access to records by the attorney general.

21-3853. Access to records by the attorney general. (a) The attorney general shall be allowed access to all records which are held by a provider that are directly related to an alleged violation of this act and which are necessary for the purpose of investigating whether any person may have violated this act, or for use or potential use in any legal, administrative or judicial proceeding pursuant to the Kansas medicaid fraud control act.

(b) No person holding such records may refuse to provide the attorney general with access to such records on the basis that release would violate any recipient's right of privacy, any recipient's privilege against disclosure or use, or any professional or other privilege or right.  The disclosure of patient information as required by this act shall not subject any provider to liability for breach of any confidential relationship between a patient and a provider. Notwithstanding K.S.A. 60-427 and amendments thereto, there shall be no privilege preventing the furnishing of such information or reports as required by this act by any person.
