A bill for an act relating to the information to be provided by a health care provider as part of a referral of a patient to an ambulatory surgical center, and providing for licensee discipline.
AI Summary
This bill requires health care providers who refer patients to an ambulatory surgical center for outpatient surgery to provide the patient with a written document listing factors to consider in making an informed decision about the recommended course of care. The factors include differences in ownership, licensure, certification, and accreditation between the ambulatory surgical center and a hospital, as well as the capacity of each to respond to medical complications and emergencies.
