NY A10022

Requires healthcare providers on probation to provide written disclosure to current and new patients detailing their status, penalty length and expiration date, causes for disciplinary action, practice restrictions, and contact information for the Office of Professional Medical Conduct

Disclosure is mandatory for providers found guilty of sexual abuse/misconduct with patients, drug/alcohol abuse harming patients, criminal convictions involving patient harm, or inappropriate prescribing resulting in harm with probation of five or more years

Patients or their healthcare representatives must sign the disclosure document before receiving any treatment, service, or procedure from the provider on probation

Patients who cancel appointments after receiving the disclosure cannot be charged by the provider or billed to their insurance

Emergency situations are exempt from the disclosure requirement when immediate medical attention is needed and obtaining consent would delay treatment and increase health risks
