A patient may voluntarily seek review of a course of treatment rendered by a dentist. Such review is not mandatory or required prior to the initiation of litigation and the Oklahoma Dental Mediation Act shall in no way limit the patient's access to the courts nor in any way require the patient to participate in mediation proceedings as a prerequisite to initiating suit. If the patient elects to participate in the mediation procedure, the patient must file a written request for the review with a mediation committee in accordance with such rules that the organizations appointing the mediation committee may prescribe. In the request for review, the patient must provide the mediation committee with a true and correct statement of all material facts relating to the course of treatment complained of, the nature of the complaint, and the requested relief sought, in addition to any other requirements that may be prescribed by rule.
The dentist shall thereafter submit a true and correct statement of all material facts relating to the course of treatment complained of, the nature of the complaint, and the dentist's recommended action, if any, in addition to any other requirements that may be prescribed by rule.
The material submitted by the patient and dentist shall be provided by the committee to the opposing party.
