Long Island medical license defense lawyer Jason Bassett releases a new article (https://jbassettlaw.com/practice-items/medical-professionals/) that discusses the usual complaints filed against healthcare professionals. The lawyer mentions that there is a huge risk of suspension and revocation of licenses for physicians or healthcare workers who are accused of misconduct.
“Medical professionals and healthcare workers have special concerns and face unique challenges when confronted by government agencies and accused of wrongdoing. These professionals can find themselves under investigations and criminally charged, which can put their license to practice and their ability to earn a living in jeopardy,” says the Long Island medical license defense lawyer.
The lawyer explains that the accusation 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 proven accusation can be devastating to a professional’s career as it can cause their license to be revoked.
In the new article, attorney Jason Bassett discusses that OPMC is tasked to investigate complaints about physicians, physician assistants, and specialist assistants. If a medical professional is investigated by OPMC, they are at risk for disciplinary actions that can significantly impact their future ability to practice medicine.
Attorney Bassett also enumerates the common reasons why a healthcare professional may be sanctioned by the OPMC. These include insurance and billing fraud, substance abuse, and sexual misconduct. Additionally, the lawyer mentions that disciplinary action can damage someone’s career and livelihood.
The medical license defense lawyer also mentions the complaints filed against nurses and other healthcare professionals with the OPD. These common complaints include drug diversion, practicing while impaired by drugs or alcohol, practicing with a mental disability, being convicted of a crime, practicing fraudulently, gross incompetence or negligence, practicing beyond the nursing scope of practice, and filing false reports.
Lastly, attorney Jason Bassett encourages medical professionals to seek the guidance of a skilled medical license defense attorney if they’re being charged with professional misconduct. Having an experienced lawyer may be able to help defend their rights and seek a more favorable outcome.
