Patient rights regarding reporting health care providers to state licensing authorities would change under this bill. When a patient tells a health care provider or their employee about a concern involving potential unprofessional or unlawful conduct by a current or former provider, the provider or employee would be required to give the patient written information, at that time, explaining how to file a complaint with the Division of Professional Licensing. Separately, for nondisclosure clauses—contract terms that prevent a patient from reporting a licensed provider's conduct to the Division—to be legally valid and enforceable, the provider would first have to give the patient a standardized notice created by the Division explaining what counts as unprofessional or unlawful conduct and how to report it; the Division would be required to create this model notice, publish it online for download, and could adopt rules to help carry out these requirements.
