Terms Used In Indiana Code 16-39-2-4
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
Sec. 4. A patient is entitled to inspect and copy the patient’s own mental health record. However, if the provider that is responsible for the patient’s mental health records determines for good medical cause, upon the advice of a physician, that the information requested under this section is detrimental to the physical or mental health of the patient, or is likely to cause the patient to harm the patient or another person, the provider may withhold the information from the patient. If the provider is a state institution or agency, the patient may appeal the provider’s refusal to permit the patient to inspect and copy the patient’s own record under IC 4-21.5.
