Agreements not to present claims to medical review panels
Sec. 5. Notwithstanding section 4 of this chapter, a claimant may
commence an action in court for malpractice without the presentation
of the claim to a medical review panel if the claimant and all parties
named as defendants in the action agree that the claim is not to be
presented to a medical review panel. The agreement must be in
writing and must be signed by each party or an authorized agent of
the party. The claimant must attach a copy of the agreement to the
