Official statutory text
Election by patient - Submission of statement by dentist.
A patient may voluntarily seek review of a course of treatment
rendered by a dentist. Such review is not mandatory or required
prior to the initiation of litigation and the Oklahoma Dental
Mediation Act shall in no way limit the patient's access to the
courts nor in any way require the patient to participate in
mediation proceedings as a prerequisite to initiating suit. If the
patient elects to participate in the mediation procedure, the
patient must file a written request for the review with a mediation
committee in accordance with such rules that the organizations
appointing the mediation committee may prescribe. In the request
for review, the patient must provide the mediation committee with a
true and correct statement of all material facts relating to the
course of treatment complained of, the nature of the complaint, and
the requested relief sought, in addition to any other requirements
that may be prescribed by rule.
The dentist shall thereafter submit a true and correct statement
of all material facts relating to the course of treatment complained
of, the nature of the complaint, and the dentist's recommended
action, if any, in addition to any other requirements that may be
prescribed by rule.
The material submitted by the patient and dentist shall be
provided by the committee to the opposing party.
