Sec. 1. If a physician licensed under this article leaves the employment of an employer, the following apply:
(1) The employer of the physician must provide the physician with a copy of any notice that:
(A) concerns the physician's departure from the employer; and
(B) was sent to any patient seen or treated by the physician during the two (2) year period preceding the termination of the physician's employment or the expiration of the physician's contract. However, the patient names and contact information must be redacted from the copy of the notice provided from the employer of the physician to the physician.
(2) The physician's employer must, in good faith, provide the physician's last known or current contact and location information to a patient who:
(A) requests updated contact and location information for the physician; and
(B) was seen or treated by the physician during the two (2) year period preceding the termination of the physician's employment or the expiration of the physician's contract.
(3) The physician's employer must provide the physician with:
(A) access to; or
(B) copies of;
any medical record associated with a patient described in subdivision (1) or (2) upon receipt of the patient's consent.
(4) The physician's employer may not provide patient medical records to a requesting physician in a format that materially differs from the format used to create or store the medical record during the routine or ordinary course of business, unless a different format is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Paper or portable document format copies of the medical records satisfy the formatting provisions of this chapter.
