Abandoned Records

State law establishes procedures for the Attorney General’s Office to obtain and secure abandoned health records or other records with personal identifying information to protect those named in the files from becoming victims of identity theft.

Health and licensed professionals who leave such records unsecured in violation of state law may face fines or other legal ramifications.

The Attorney General's Office has taken possession of records containing consumer's personal information that was determined to be abandoned under Indiana Code section 4-6-14-6. The records are currently secured by the State of Indiana.
