No. A physician only is required to carry liability insurance in an outpatient surgery setting pursuant to Business and Professions Code section 2216.2. However, a physician must follow the reporting requirements cited in Business and Professions Code section 802 in regard to lawsuit settlements and arbitration awards. You can find a complete description of the requirements in the Business and Professions Code at the official California Legislative Information Web site, www.leginfo.ca.gov.  more
