House Bill No. [insert number] introduced by Representative Boyer aims to standardize medical terminology used in medical documentation. The bill enacts two new sections, R.S. 22:46.1 and R.S. 40:1300.81, which mandate that the term "miscarriage" be included in parentheses following the term "spontaneous abortion" whenever it is used in medical records or billing. This requirement is intended to ensure clarity and consistency in medical documentation, thereby improving communication between healthcare providers and patients.

The proposed law emphasizes the importance of using both terms in medical contexts to avoid confusion and enhance understanding of the medical conditions being referenced. By formally incorporating this terminology into legal requirements, the bill seeks to promote better patient care and documentation practices within the healthcare system.
