HB 2229 Practitioners; competency assessments.

Introduced by: John M. O'Bannon, III | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Health professionals; competency assessments.  Changes the requirement for assessing physicians who have had three medical malpractice judgments or claims in a 10-year period so that it only affects actively practicing physicians. The bill also changes the amount required to trigger the assessment from $10,000 to $75,000 and allows the Board of Medicine to post the number of assessments done on its website, rather than through a report to the General Assembly.
