If a hospital, clinic, or doctor's office uses generative AI to write or speak messages to patients about their clinical care, those messages must clearly tell the patient that AI generated the content and explain how to reach a human health care provider. The rule does not apply when a licensed provider reads and reviews the AI-generated message before it goes out.
