Prosecutors subpoenaed Aetna for documents and records related to Luigi Mangione. Defense attorneys contend Aetna turned over private medical diagnoses and treatment statements that prosecutors reviewed, raising HIPAA concerns. Prosecutors deny a privacy violation and say they sought "entirely unremarkable" information such as an account number and coverage duration, blaming Aetna for producing more material than requested. Aetna says it responded appropriately to the subpoena. Defense attorneys request an evidentiary hearing to examine how the subpoena was drafted, how Aetna was instructed to respond, who reviewed the records, and who supervised access, and may seek suppression, recusal, or dismissal. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to charges alleging he murdered United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December.
