Article 28 Licensed Facility for PI Cases

The Regulatory Framework That Protects Your Case

Article 28 of the New York State Public Health Law governs the establishment and operation of hospitals and diagnostic and treatment centers. Facilities operating under this article must maintain: credentialed medical staff with verified board certifications, quality assurance committees that review clinical documentation, mandatory incident reporting to the Department of Health, calibrated diagnostic equipment with regular maintenance logs, and HIPAA-compliant records management with defined retention policies.

For personal injury litigation, these requirements create a chain of credibility. When opposing counsel questions the reliability of an MRI finding, the Article 28 framework provides documented evidence of machine calibration, radiologist credentialing, and quality assurance review — none of which exist at a typical private imaging center.

How Defense Attorneys View Article 28 vs. Private Office Records

Defense attorneys and insurance medical reviewers routinely discount records from private offices — particularly those perceived as "PI mills." The Article 28 designation removes this attack vector entirely. The facility's license, regulatory compliance, and institutional structure signal to adjusters, mediators, and juries that the medical evidence was produced in a legitimate clinical environment.
