Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) It is the policy of this state that registrants are liable for their acts or
omissions in the performance of the services that they provide, and that no licensed physician,
nurse, certified midwife, prehospital emergency medical personnel, or health-care institution is
liable for any act or omission resulting from the administration of services by any registrant.
This subsection (1) does not relieve any physician, nurse, certified midwife, prehospital
emergency personnel, or health-care institution from liability for any willful and wanton act or
omission or any act or omission constituting gross negligence, or under circumstances where a
registrant has a business or supervised relationship with the physician, nurse, certified midwife,
prehospital emergency personnel, or health-care institution. A physician, nurse, certified
midwife, prehospital emergency personnel, or health-care institution may provide consultation or
education to the registrant without establishing a business or supervisory relationship, and is
encouraged to accept referrals from registrants pursuant to this article 225.
(2) If the director finds that liability insurance is available at an affordable price,
registrants shall be required to carry liability insurance.
