Although Indiana law is silent on this specific issue, it allows patients to request and receive records “possessed” or “maintained” by a physician, which presumably includes records produced by another provider. IC 16-39-1-1 & IC 16-18-2-168 (see also 844 IAC 5-2-4 “custody,” “possession,” or “control”). HIPAA also allows such a practice.
