ALERT: Closing or Relocating Your Physician Practice
You have spent over thirty years diligently treating your
patients, and retirement has finally arrived. The RV or boat is gassed up, the
grandkids can’t wait to have a new pal, and you are set to finally shave five
strokes off your golf game. However, despite your long, successful, and
untarnished career, you receive a last letter from your Department of Health
informing you that when you closed your medical practice you failed to follow
the proper procedures under you STATE OR FEDERAL law. Can the your State Department
of Health really fine me, after I have retired, for failing to comply with the
protocol established for Closing or Relocating a Physician Practice? The
counterintuitive answer is “yes”.
Administrative Complaint shows, that Department of Health
for any State may prosecute a physician for failure to perform “any statutory
or legal obligation placed upon a licensed physician”, including certain legal
requirements in the event a physician closes, sells, or relocates his or her
medical practice.
