The information contained
in the sections below is taken from KMA's Legal Handbook for Kentucky
Physicians. The sections have been updated as of the date noted at
the top of each section. Some sections contain excerpts from a statute.
In other sections, the relevant material has been paraphrased. In places
where portions of the Kentucky Revised Statutes are cited, the notation "KRS" is
made with the appropriate statutory number following. There are also
references to Kentucky regulations, which are cited by the notation "KAR" along
with the appropriate regulatory number following. Portions of federal
law are also cited, although a complete review of federal laws and
regulations that may affect physicians is not possible. Reference is
also made to Current Opinions of the Council on Ethical and Judicial
Affairs of the American Medical Association, which has been codified
as part of Kentucky law.
Since
amendments to laws and regulations occur frequently, and excerpts can
be misinterpreted when viewed in isolation, the full text of a relevant
statute must sometimes be consulted. Members are advised to consult an
attorney knowledgeable in health care law for answers to specific questions.
To view the full text of a Kentucky statute, visit the Kentucky
Legislative Research Commission website.
