Information About Disciplinary Actions and Citations
Because a "national standard" does not exist, each state has a state medical board that licenses physicians and regulates the practice of medicine within their state. Each state medical board uses separate and distinct policies, procedures and reporting guidelines relating to disciplinary actions and citations against physicians in their state. Disciplinary actions taken by state medical boards can vary widely from state to state based on some of the following factors: states have different agency structures that affect the boards’ disciplinary powers, funding for investigations and the process it takes to issue a disciplinary action; different "standards of proof" in order to issue a disciplinary action. The type of disciplinary actions and citations can range from non-payment of a simple licensing fee, to warnings, letters of concern, probation and suspension of the medical license, to the complete revocation of the license to practice medicine. The basis for those actions can range widely from not documenting continuing medical education requirements, to controlled substance violations, self medication or violations of professional/moral misconduct among many others. In deciding to seek treatment from a physician or other healthcare professional that has a disciplinary action or citation, you should obtain a report of the action / citation from the state medical board, by calling the phone number listed, to evaluate if the action / citation could potentially impact the quality of care received. Although checkMD is as thorough as possible in bringing you the most current physician data from databases throughout the country, you may still wish to use the contact information provided to further research your physician.
