Who to contact in Indiana
- Attorney general consumer protection office
- Consumer Protection Division, Indiana Attorney General. It takes consumer complaints. Its page does not say it handles complaints about health records under HIPAA; those go to the Office for Civil Rights (below).
- Health information exchange
- Indiana Health Information Exchange (IHIE), named by the state as its primary HIE.
- Can you opt out?
- No state law decides this. We searched the state's official law sites and found none. We found no published patient opt-out policy for the Indiana Health Information Exchange either. Ask your doctor's office whether it shares your records through an exchange and how to say no.

Indiana law on copies, quotedHow to get your medical records
A health information exchange (HIE) is a network that lets doctors, hospitals and labs share patient records with each other.
Start with your provider. If you are refused or get no answer, you can file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If your electronic record is held back, you can report it through the federal Report Information Blocking Portal. See who to contact in the United States.
