Healing arts: professional reports.

Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of osteopathic physicians and surgeons by the Osteopathic Medical Board of California, of physicians and surgeons by the Medical Board of California, of podiatrists by the California Board of Podiatric Medicine, and of physician assistants by the Physician Assistant Board. Existing law requires those licensees, insurers providing professional liability insurance to those licensees, and governmental agencies that self-insure those licensees to report specified settlements, arbitration awards, or civil judgments to the licensee's board if based on the licensee's alleged negligence, error, or omission in practice or the licensee's rendering of unauthorized professional services. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
