Long Island medical license defense attorney releases a new article (https://jbassettlaw.com/practice-items/medical-professionals/) explaining the common complaints filed against physicians on Long Island. According to the lawyer, a healthcare professional charged with professional misconduct can lose their license to practice.
"Accusations of misconduct or wrongdoing can result in an investigation by the New York Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC) or the New York State Education Department's Office of Professional Discipline (OPD). The consequences of a finding against you can be devastating to your career, and can include loss of license, probation, censure, or a letter of reprimand," says the Long Island medical license defense attorney.
The lawyer explains that doctors under investigation by the New York Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC) can face disciplinary actions which can have serious consequences on their careers and ability to practice medicine. The OPMC is responsible for investigating complaints against doctors and other specialist assistants.
Jason Bassett also lists the most common reasons that a healthcare professional might be sanctioned. These reasons include insurance fraud and billing fraud, as well as substance abuse and sexual misconduct. These charges can lead to the suspension or revocation of a healthcare professional's license.
The defense lawyer mentions that the New York State Education Department's Office of Professional Discipline, or OPD, is responsible for investigating misconduct allegations against nurses, dentists, pharmacists, chiropractors, and physical therapists.
Attorney Bassett also provides a list of reasons that healthcare professionals can be charged with misconduct. These reasons include drug diversion, practicing while impaired, practicing with a mental disorder, being convicted, practicing fraudulently, and sexually or physically abusing patients.
Lastly, the defense attorney emphasizes the importance of having a skilled lawyer when facing charges of medical misconduct. An experienced attorney may be able to help the accused understand their rights and receive a favorable outcome in the case.
