Hospitals and Health Care Facilities - As introduced, removes the restriction on the direct employment of radiologists, pathologists, anesthesiologists, and emergency physicians by hospitals and certain healthcare facilities. - Amends TCA Title 47; Title 63 and Title 68.

SB 9 removes existing restrictions that prevented hospitals and certain healthcare facilities from directly employing radiologists, pathologists, anesthesiologists, and emergency physicians. The bill amends Tennessee law (specifically Titles 47, 63, and 68) to delete provisions that previously barred such direct employment or limited it to specific arrangements. This change allows hospitals to hire these specialists directly or through third-party agreements, without requiring them to maintain prior employment structures. The law takes effect on July 1, 2025.
