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