CALIFORNIA SENATE BILL SB-577
What it means for patients and clients:
California Senate Bill SB-577, which was signed by the governor in September 2002, has profound implications for the practice of alternative forms of health care in California. AB-577 enables alternative and complementary health care practitioners to provide and advertise services legally.
What does Senate bill SB-577 mean to you, as a patient and client?
SB-577 gives you access to alternative and complementary health care practitioners. You must be given information about the nature of treatment and the practitioner’s qualifications. Feel free to ask a practitioner any question you might have about your treatment. You can also request that your licensed and unlicensed health care providers communicate with each other and work collaboratively to meet you health care needs.
Here are the things that unlicensed alternative practitioners arenot allowed to do:
Perform surgery; use x-ray radiation; prescribe prescription drugs; set fractures; treat wounds with electro-therapy; put you at risk of great bodily harm, serious physical or mental illness or death; imply in any way that they are a licensed physician.
In addition, an unlicensed alternative practitioner must do the following things:
Provide a statement, written in plain language that includes the following information:
(1) that they are not a licensed physician and that their services arenot licensed by the state,
(2) a brief and clear description of the kind of services they provide,
(3) a description of their education, training, and experience,
(4) ask you to sign an acknowledgment that you received the above written statement and provide you with a copy of it, as well as keep it for three years.
