Bill > HB2366

This bill expands the scope of practice for naturopathic doctors, requiring them to maintain professional liability insurance with a minimum of $1,000,000 per claim and an annual aggregate of $3,000,000, and also adds them to the definition of "healthcare provider" for the purposes of the healthcare stabilization fund, which is a fund designed to provide financial protection against medical malpractice claims. Additionally, the bill specifies continuing education requirements for naturopathic doctors, mandating 25 hours annually for license renewal, and clarifies their ability to order and perform various examinations, order diagnostic imaging studies (though they must refer patients to qualified professionals for the actual imaging and interpretation), and prescribe or administer a range of natural medicines, supplements, and certain prescription drugs, while explicitly prohibiting surgery, obstetrics, and the prescription or administration of controlled substances not authorized by the act. The bill also modifies provisions related to the licensure and regulation of naturopathic doctors, including updating definitions and procedures for disciplinary actions and license renewal.
