I worked at an ER here in PA for a number of years. There is a form we had to by law fill out (by PA law) if anyone presented to the ER with an incomplete abortion. This form was sent into the State. (I can’t exactly recall though which agency we sent the form to) It wasn’t unusual to have a patient who had an abortion 24 to 48 hours prior to later find out it wasn’t complete. The form did contain information on where the patient had the abortion, etc. I can’t recall though whether we had to put a patient’s name on it.
