SECTION 827

827. A provider of health care, as defined in Section 56.05 of the
Civil Code, its officers, employees, agents, and subcontractors, who
are defended by the Attorney General pursuant to Section 12511.5, or
other legal counsel provided by the state, shall be indemnified in
accordance with Section 825, subject to the same conditions and
limitations applicable to state employees, except that no provider of
