INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A nurse midwife’s license was suspended Wednesday after she abandoned patient records.
Barbara Ann Bechtel, a licensed advanced practice nurse, received a one-year suspension after she closed her Indianapolis business and left patient medical files with the building owner.
The owner asked Bechtel to claim the documents, but she failed to respond.
A complaint was filed by Attorney General Greg Zoeller’s officer against Bechtel.
It was a unanimous vote by the Indiana State Board of Nursing to suspend her license.
Bechtel is now required to continue her education on security and record keeping.
The Attorney General’s Office took possession of the files in May 2011 and began returning the records to the patients. Former patients of Bechtel can still claim their records by submitting an Abandoned Records Request form to the Attorney General's Office.
