MED-X Case Reporting

There are three methods of case reporting and each Medical Examiner (ME) office can determine which works best for you.

1. ME site fills out Case Report Form and sends to MDH
2. ME site notifies MDH of cases and MDH will fill out Case Report Form
3. MDH conducts case identification at ME site

All notifications to MDH should be made at least on a monthly basis.

3. MDH conducts case identification at ME site
