Physician's Reporting
Procedure
California law requires that physicians report all patients "Characterized
by lapses of consciousness or periods of confusion which may become a
chronic condition." Physicians who have seen a patient with these
conditions, and who have not notified their county health officer, may
be held liable for damages that occur as a result of their patient's actions
such as accidents caused by the patient at work or on the highway. This
report, known as the "Confidential Morbidity Report,"
must be faxed to the county health officer where the physician has seen
the patient.
For a copy of San Diego county's Confidential
Morbidity Report form, please call Progressive Medical at 800-491-2292
and we will fax you the form.
