Service of Process & Subpoena Protocols at Jefferson Hospital (Gibbon Building, Suite 1950)

1. Navigating the Center City Jefferson Campus (Gibbon Building vs. Bodine, Main, and Honickman Towers)

Thomas Jefferson University Hospital spans multiple city blocks between 9th and 12th Streets and Chestnut and Locust Streets in Center City Philadelphia. Attempting to drop a medical records subpoena at a random emergency room security desk on Sansom Street or at the outpatient Honickman Center on Chestnut Street will result in rejection.

• Medical Records / HIM Subpoenas (Pa.R.C.P. 4009.22 & 42 Pa.C.S. § 6152): Must be routed specifically to Health Information Management (HIM) at the Gibbon Building, 111 South 11th Street, Suite 1950, Philadelphia, PA 19107.
• Our Center City couriers check in through Gibbon Building security daily, present your subpoena packet at Suite 1950, obtain the date-stamped intake confirmation or intake specialist’s full name and title, and generate your Pa.R.C.P. Rule 405 Affidavit of Service within 24 hours.

2. Required Attachments for Jefferson Health Medical Records Subpoenas

To ensure Jefferson Health’s Release of Information vendor (Ciox / Datavant / HIM Legal Intake) processes your chart request without issuing an objection letter:

1. Include Accurate Patient Identifiers: Ensure the subpoena or accompanying cover letter clearly states the patient’s Full Legal Name, Date of Birth (DOB), last 4 digits of Social Security Number, and specific Dates of Service / Admission.
2. Attach the Rule 4009.25 Certificate Prerequisite to Service: For Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas discovery subpoenas, attach the signed Certificate Prerequisite to Service (Pa.R.C.P. 4009.25) verifying expiration of the mandatory 20-day Notice of Intent window (Pa.R.C.P. 4009.21), along with a blank Certificate of Compliance (Pa.R.C.P. 4009.23) and 42 Pa.C.S. § 6152(d) Certification of Medical Records.
3. Attach Signed HIPAA Authorization for Protected Categories: If the patient’s chart contains behavioral health/psychiatric treatment (50 P.S. § 7111), substance use treatment (71 P.S. § 1690.108), or HIV-related information (35 P.S. § 7607), attach a patient-signed authorization specifically initialed for those statutory categories.

3. Serving Individual Jefferson Physicians & Original Civil Process (Pa.R.C.P. 400.1)

What if you need to serve an original Writ of Summons, Medical Professional Liability Complaint, or Deposition Subpoena (Pa.R.C.P. 234.1) on an attending physician, surgeon, or corporate entity at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital?

• Because Jefferson is located in Philadelphia County (First Judicial District), Pa.R.C.P. Rule 400.1(a)(1) and (2) authorize a private process server (“competent adult”) to serve original civil process (as well as all subpoenas under Rule 234.2) anywhere in Philadelphia County without needing the Philadelphia Sheriff!
• Furthermore, for out-of-state attorneys domesticating a New Jersey, Delaware, or New York subpoena under the Pennsylvania UIDDA (42 Pa.C.S. § 5335), our courier can walk your foreign subpoena into Room 280 of Philadelphia City Hall, have the Office of Judicial Records issue the Pennsylvania subpoena, and walk four blocks east down Chestnut/11th Street to serve Gibbon Building Suite 1950 the same afternoon.
