THIS SUBTITLE DOES NOT:

(1)  LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PERSON TO PRACTICE A
HEALTH OCCUPATION THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS AUTHORIZED TO
PRACTICE UNDER THE HEALTH OCCUPATIONS ARTICLE;

(2)   LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PERSON WHO HOLDS A
LICENSE UNDER THIS ARTICLE TO ACT AS AUTHORIZED BY THAT
LICENSE; OR

RELIES ON TREATMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TENETS AND
PRACTICES OF A RECOGNIZED CHURCH OR RELIGIOUS DENOMINATION
AND, WITH OR WITHOUT COMPENSATION, IS CARED FOR IN

REVISOR'S NOTE: Items (1) and (2) of this section are
new language derived without substantive change
from former Article 43, § 878(d)(4) and rephrased
to state explicitly that this subtitle applies to
an agency and not to an individual practitioner
who makes a house call in the course of a private
practice.

Item (3) of this section is new language derived
without substantive change from the third
sentence of former Article 43, § 882 and revised
to conform to similar provisions elsewhere in

this article.
