National Practitioner Data Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care Practitioners: amendments to data bank regulations to comply with court order and technical correction--HRSA. Final regulations.

This final rule amends the existing regulations governing the National Practitioner Data Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care Practitioners (the Data Bank), codified at 45 CFR part 60, authorizing the reporting and release of information concerning: Payments made for the benefit of physicians, dentists, and other health care practitioners as a result of medical malpractice actions or claims; and certain adverse actions taken regarding the licenses and clinical privileges of physicians and dentists. This final rule revises sections 60.2 and 60.7 to require reporting only by entities which make medical malpractice payments, deleting the reference to reporting by persons (individuals). It also clarifies the reference to "professional society" in section 60.9.

National Practitioner Data Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care Practitioners: medical malpractice payments reporting requirements--HRSA. Notice of proposed rulemaking.

This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposes amendments to the existing regulations implementing the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986, establishing the National Practitioner Data Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care Practitioners (the Data Bank). The proposed regulations would amend the existing reporting requirements regarding payments on medical malpractice claims or actions in order to include reports on payments made on behalf of those practitioners who provided the medical care that is the subject of the claim or action, whether or not they were named as defendants in the claim or action. These amendments are designed to prevent the evasion of Data Bank medical malpractice payments reporting requirements.

Changes to National Practitioner Data Bank reporting--effective or not?

Unless a physician has been living in another galaxy far, far away with Luke Skywalker, he or she is aware of the National Practitioner Data Bank. On March 31, 1994, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that each practitioner can now place in the Data Bank a six-hundred character "rebuttal" of a report, without formally disputing the factual accuracy of the report. Does this change make the Data Bank fair? Not really. It is a step in the right direction, but further reform is needed. "Health Law" is a regular feature of Physician Executive contributed by Epstein Becker & Green. Mark Lutes of the law firm's Washington, D.C., offices serves as editor of the column.

National Practitioner Data Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and other Health Care Practitioners: charge for self-queries. Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS. Final rule.

This final rule amends the existing regulations implementing the Health Care Quality Improvement Act of 1986 (the Act), which established the National Practitioner Data Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care Practitioners (the Data Bank). The final rule amends the existing fee structure so that the Data Bank can fully recover its costs, as required by law. This rule removes the prohibition against charging for self-queries and, therefore, allows the Data Bank to assess costs in an equitable manner. This is consistent with both the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act which allow the Government to charge fees for the reproduction of records. The Data Bank will continue its current practice of sending to the practitioner in whose name it was submitted--automatically, without a request, and free of charge--a copy of every report received by the Data Bank for purposes of verification and dispute resolution.
