CASE HISTORIES AND PHYSICAL EVALUATIONS.

(a) A dentist may take a complete case history and perform a complete physical evaluation that may be used to admit a patient to a hospital for the practice of dentistry if the activity is necessary in the exercise of due care in the practice of dentistry.

(b) A dentist is not automatically entitled to membership on a hospital's medical staff or to exercise clinical privileges at a hospital solely because the dentist is licensed in this state or because the dentist is authorized to take a case history and perform a physical evaluation.

(c) A dentist may not be denied membership on a hospital's medical staff or the right to the exercise of clinical privileges at a hospital solely because the person is a dentist rather than a physician.
