That’s up to the controlling legal authority, as Al Gore would say. I doubt such behavior rises to the level of license revocation. I would imagine the penalty is well established for such violations.
Any doctors in the house? How serious a violation are we looking at here?
“How serious a violation are we looking at here?”
It’s an interesting question. If a physician writes fraudulent information into an insurance company assessment, or into a document to a state agency assessing legitimacy of a disability, he/she can go to jail, in addition to huge fines. If a physician is found guilty of providing erroneous data to medicare, even if it wasn’t on purpose/done by mistake, that physician can be in very hot water.
I don’t think this should be any different, but I’m not sure what the ruling would be. To me it is definitely defrauding the state and the taxpayers.
