§ 1319 Medical Staff Insurance Requirement

• •Hospitals and clinics can make their own rules.
• •One rule can be: all doctors must have insurance in case they make a mistake.
• •If a doctor doesn’t have this insurance, they might not be allowed to work there.

A doctor wants to work at a hospital.

The hospital says, 'You need insurance first.' If the doctor doesn’t get it, they can’t work there.
