SB 6038: Health care referrals
Requiring disclosure to the patient's insurer, as well as the patient, of a health care provider's financial interest in an entity to which the patient is referred.

- The Legislature finds that there is a growing practice of health care professionals referring patients to laboratory and other services in which the professional has a financial interest. Such practices may lead to over-utilization of health care services and excessive health care costs.
