Must all providers and hospitals inform obstetrical patients whether or not they participate in the Birth-Injury Program?
Yes, all physicians, certified nurse midwives, and hospitals are required by law (Virginia Code §38.2-5004.1) to inform their obstetrical patients whether or not they participate in the Program.
The Program provides Patient Materials to be used to inform patients about participation status and about the Program’s benefits. Materials are available in English and Spanish.
