Richard Bojko v. Anonymous Physician

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court held that trial courts lack authority under the Medical Malpractice Act to redact or exclude materials submitted to a medical review panel. It further held that a third-party wrongful-death complaint was evidence because it tended to establish alleged facts concerning the physician’s substance abuse and mental-health conditions, leaving the panel to determine its reliability and relevance. The court therefore reversed the redaction order and remanded for further proceedings.
