The California Patient's Guide
Your Health Care Rights and Remedies
Prepared by Consumer Watchdog.
Made possible by a grant from The California Wellness Foundation and with the assistance of the California Dept. of Consumer Affairs and the California Dept. of Managed Health Care. This guide is intended to inform you of your rights to receive quality health care and what steps you can take if you encounter problems. It has been assembled by medical, legal and consumer experts under the supervision of a non-profit organization, Consumer Watchdog, through a grant from the California Wellness Foundation. While the authors of this guide have made every attempt to be as accurate and comprehensive as possible regarding current law, you should refer to the statutes and cases cited for the exact language used. You may wish to consult an attorney for assistance with how the law applies to your particular health care problem. This guide is current, to the extent possible, through the 2000 legislative session, including state laws signed by Governor Davis to be effective January 1, 2001.
