If I Marchman Act someone, is the treatment provider obligated to share information with me?
Under the Marchman Act procedure, the whole process is confidential. The actual filing of the petition is confidential. It’s not something that you could look up on the Clerk of Courts screen. With regards to the provider, because of HIPPA, those records, those medical records, are confidential unless the respondent, the person who is getting the treatment, decides to waive their privilege and wants to disclose that information to somebody else.
