§ 16-36-3-5 — Second medical opinion

If the superintendent and the patient's treating
physician determine that:
(1) the patient is incompetent to give informed consent to medical
or surgical treatment, even though the patient has never been so
adjudicated by a court; and
(2) the treatment is medically necessary;
the superintendent shall obtain a second opinion on the issues listed in
subdivisions (1) and (2) from a licensed physician independent of the
appropriate facility.
