Health Care Web Contractor Agrees to Release Documents to Congress

[Geee]

Legal Times:

A contractor that worked on the Obama administration's health care website agreed to turn over documents subpoenaed by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, determining that a request by the Department of Health and Human Services to keep the documents private did not apply.

 

On Dec. 10, the oversight committee subpoenaed Creative Computing Solutions Inc., seeking documents related to "security vulnerabilities present in the HealthCare.gov website that pose a risk to sensitive personal information submitted by applicants seeking coverage," according to a news release by the committee.

 

But four days before the request was made, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services told the company it was not allowed to turn over any documents without the agency’s authorization.
