Exposure Notification Requirements for Emergency Care Providers – Ind. Code Ann. § 16-41-10-2

An emergency medical services provider who is exposed to blood or body fluids while providing emergency medical services to a patient may request notification concerning exposure to a dangerous communicable disease if the exposure is of a type that has been demonstrated epidemiologically to transmit a dangerous communicable disease.  A patient to whose blood or body fluids an emergency medical service provider is exposed to is considered to have consented to testing for the presence of a dangerous communicable disease and release of the testing results to a medical director or physician.  The medical director or physician must notify the emergency medical services provider of the test results not more than 48 hours after the medical director or physician receives the test results.
