Provisions are not medical care; individualized care and treatment

This article, and any criteria developed by the department pursuant to this article, shall not be construed to be a medical practice guideline or to establish a standard of care for treatment and shall not be used to restrict or expand the authority of a hospital or other health care facility to provide services for which it has received a license under state law. The General Assembly intends that all patients be treated individually based on each patient’s needs and circumstances. History. — Code 1981, § 31-2A-55, enacted by Ga. L. 2018, p. 344, § 1/HB 909.
