Professional Discrimination
The WSMA supports legislation prohibiting health maintenance
organizations, professional service corporations, health care professions,
clinics, individuals, insurance companies, and hospitals from
discriminating against a qualified osteopathic physician and surgeon
solely on the basis of his or her designation as an osteopathic physician
and surgeon, providing clinical equivalency in his or her professional
training. (Res C-9, A-94) (Reaffirmed A-23)
