Medical Board Complaints

There are numerous ways in which errors or malpractice can occur in a wide range of healthcare settings. Frequently, board complaints are filed with the Florida Department of Health in response to these errors or malpractice.

Aside from imposition of fines and restrictions on practice, a medical board complaint can be extremely detrimental to one’s career and reputation. All of a Physician’s years in medical school and the practical knowledge they obtained while working in the field might be for nothing if their job as a medical practitioner is put at risk.

Possible Outcomes of a Board Complaint

The department or regulatory board may issue a citation or impose one or more of the following penalties if the practitioner is determined to have violated the law:

• Reprimand
• Fine
• Restriction of practice
• Probation
• Remedial education
• License suspension or revocation

Responding to a Board Complaint

A medical board complaint is comparable to being sued in that it necessitates a response. Medical practitioners should be mindful that attempting to resolve the complaint on one’s own may jeopardize any prospects of having the case dismissed or receiving a fair settlement. 

Possible license revocation may be costly to a medical career in which so much time and money has been invested. One must be thorough in responding to and defending any complaint filed against one’s license or any current inquiry.

 
In dealing with a Board Complaint, a malpractice and healthcare lawyer should be consulted as soon as possible.
