Bill overview
This bill, the Physician and Patient Safety Act, aims to protect physicians’ rights when their medical staff privileges are being considered for termination, restriction, or reduction. It requires the Department of Health and Human Services to create regulations ensuring physicians receive a fair hearing and an opportunity for an appeal before any action is taken. The regulations will prevent hospitals from denying hearings through third-party contractors and will maintain confidentiality regarding the proceedings, except in cases of ongoing patient safety concerns.
