Amends TCA Title 47; Title 63 and Title 68.

Tennessee SB0009 proposes to amend existing laws regarding the employment of anesthesiologists, emergency department physicians, pathologists, and radiologists by removing current prohibitions on certain facilities, including hospitals and their affiliates, from employing these specialists. The bill affects hospitals, federally qualified health centers, rural health clinics, and renal dialysis clinics by allowing them to establish employment relationships with these medical professionals without the previously required conditions. Key changes include the elimination of restrictions based on patient treatment protocols and county population thresholds for employing emergency physicians.
