Any managed care plan shall provide for the appointment of a medical director who has an unrestricted license to practice medicine. However, a managed care plan that specializes in a specific healing art shall provide for the appointment of a director who has an unrestricted license to practice in that healing art. The director is responsible for oversight of treatment policies, protocols, quality assurance activities, and utilization management decisions of the managed care plan.
