Dr. Gold, a well-respected physician specializing in family practice, receives a telephone call from Mr. Tarnish, an “investigator” with the New York State Department of Health (DOH) Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC).
The Anatomy of a Professional Medical Misconduct Hearing
... Ignorance of the process can turn a well-intentioned physician into a respondent in a physician misconduct proceeding. Since nothing threatens the foundation of a physician's practice more than the prospect of such a scenario, any contact from a representative of the state must be taken very seriously. Unfortunately, the combined effects of misinformation and misguided actions leave many physicians vulnerable to a procedure that can effectively strip them of their ability to earn a living. Learning the "who," "what," "why" and "how" of the process can hopefully keep you, your client or your client's staff members upstream of a problem and help ensure the continued viability of everyone's practice.
