State agencies are allowed to request information from the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank (HIPDB) because HIPDB is established to provide information on healthcare providers, suppliers, and practitioners to assist in the administration of healthcare programs. State agencies often require access to this data to help with their regulatory functions, such as licensing, certification, and oversight of healthcare practitioners and facilities. This access is crucial for ensuring compliance with state and federal healthcare laws, maintaining public safety, and promoting quality care in the healthcare system.

On the other hand, while professional societies with formal peer review and quality improvement organizations play important roles in the healthcare ecosystem, their access to HIPDB is more limited compared to state agencies. Plaintiff's attorneys typically do not have direct access to the HIPDB as their needs may not align with the regulatory and compliance requirements that state agencies handle.
