Adverse event

An undesirable or unexpected outcome associated with a treatment, ranging from mild reactions to emergencies.

Why it matters

Practices should document and respond to adverse events and have protocols for escalation and follow-up.

State variation

How Adverse event applies can differ by state, provider credentials, and the treatments offered. NOVI’s state pages summarize the considerations for Texas, Florida, and California — but always confirm current rules for your jurisdiction with official sources.
