This bill enacts two new sections of law in Louisiana, R.S. 22:46.1 and R.S. 40:1300.81, which address the terminology used in medical documentation. Specifically, it allows entities regulated by the Louisiana Code to include the term "miscarriage" in parentheses following "spontaneous abortion" when this term is used in medical records or billing. This change aims to provide clarity and sensitivity in medical documentation regarding pregnancy loss.

The bill emphasizes the importance of including both terms in medical records to ensure that patients and healthcare providers have a clear understanding of the terminology used. By standardizing this language, the legislation seeks to improve communication and documentation practices in the medical field, particularly concerning sensitive topics like pregnancy loss.
