270.971 Limiting Liability for Test Results
The Medical Society of the State of New York will advocate to ensure that there is no legal duty for physicians to report test results to a patient if the physician did not order the test and if such physician was not involved in that patient’s episode of care which prompted the ordering of such tests.
MSSNY will educate member physicians about the efforts of the Monroe County Medical Society to establish Community Principles for Follow-up on Outpatient Diagnostic Testing, Laboratory and Imaging Studies so that physicians in different regions of the State may consider undertaking similar efforts in their communities.
