Service of Process & Subpoena Protocols at 1901 Market Street

1. Why Private Process Servers Can Serve All Legal Papers at 1901 Market Street (Pa.R.C.P. 400.1 & 234.2)

Because 1901 Market Street is located inside the City and County of Philadelphia (First Judicial District):

• All Subpoenas (Pa.R.C.P. 234.2 & Rule 4009.22): Any competent adult (our private process server) can serve Pennsylvania discovery subpoenas, trial subpoenas, family court health insurance coverage subpoenas, and domesticated out-of-state UIDDA subpoenas directly on Independence Blue Cross at 1901 Market Street.
• All Original Civil Process (Pa.R.C.P. 400.1(a)(1) & (2)): Unlike the outlying 66 counties where initial Common Pleas civil complaints require the County Sheriff under Rule 400(a), Pa.R.C.P. Rule 400.1 explicitly permits a private process server (“competent adult”) to serve original civil complaints and writs of summons inside Philadelphia County—whether the lawsuit was filed in Philadelphia City Hall (Rule 400.1(a)(1)) or in an outlying county like Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, or Delaware County (Rule 400.1(a)(2))!
• All Federal & Out-of-State Process (FRCP Rule 4(c)(2) & Pa.R.C.P. 404): Including federal ERISA benefit actions filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (EDPA).

2. Checklist for Serving Health Insurance Claim & Lien Subpoenas on IBX

Because Independence Blue Cross is a “Covered Entity” under the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA, 45 C.F.R. § 164.512(e)), its Legal & Subpoena Intake team at 1901 Market Street enforces strict privacy verification before releasing member EOBs and claim payment histories:

1. Member Identification Details: Include the subscriber/patient’s Full Legal Name, Date of Birth, IBX Member ID Number (if known), or Social Security Number (on a separate confidential cover sheet), and the exact Date Range of Claims requested.
2. Pennsylvania Rule 4009.21 / 4009.22 Compliance: Attach the signed Certificate Prerequisite to Service (Pa.R.C.P. 4009.25) demonstrating that all parties received the mandatory 20-day Notice of Intent (Rule 4009.21) without objection, plus a blank Certificate of Compliance (Rule 4009.23).
3. HIPAA Satisfactory Assurances or Signed Member Authorization: When subpoenaing a plaintiff’s or claimant’s health insurance payment history, attaching a HIPAA-compliant authorization signed by the member (or the signed Rule 4009.25 Certificate Prerequisite showing notice to the member’s counsel of record without objection) accelerates production.

3. Same-Day UIDDA Domestication at Philadelphia City Hall (Room 280)
