Fair hearings for physicians denied participation in managed care plans.
As a result of the imminent application of the doctrine of corporate negligence to health maintenance organizations and other providers of managed care, those entities are likely to become much more active in the credentialing processes they undertake. Adversely affected physicians should be entitled to the same procedural protection currently afforded by hospitals, a "fair hearing" that at least provides a notice of charges and an opportunity to respond to the charges.
