Michigan law now provides civil immunity to retired dentists
Dental health Care, Michigan law now provides civil immunity to retired dentists who provide charitable care. Now Retired dentists in Michigan have even more incentive to provide charity care for underserved patients in their communities.
In June, Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law a Michigan Dental Association-supported House Bill 4389 that provides civil immunity to retired dentists who provide care to the underserved. Now they may do so without the fear of being sued, as long as they possess a voluntary license issued by the Bureau of Health Professionals and services are offered for free.
