Federal agents execute a search warrant at your medical practice, seizing patient records and prescription logs.
Can they take patient records without patient consent?
A valid federal search warrant overrides HIPAA privacy protections. However, the warrant must be properly scoped. An attorney can challenge overly broad warrants and move to suppress improperly seized evidence.

- Letter of Admonition with Notice: is sent to pharmacies that have been identified as having compliance issues during an audit or inspection. The pharmacy will be given specific notice about what needs to be corrected, and it will be given a deadline for correcting the issue.
- Letter of Admonition without Notice: is sent to pharmacies that have been identified as having compliance issues during an audit or inspection, but the pharmacy has already taken corrective action before receiving the letter. In this case, the pharmacy will not receive any specific notice about what needs to be corrected, but it will still need to maintain its current compliance program in order to avoid further penalties in the future.
