CASE SUMMARY
A physician voluntarily surrendered their medical license effective November 1, 2010, after being disciplined by the Indiana State Medical Licensing Board. The physician did not contest charges of failing to keep abreast of current theory or practice regarding the prescribing of controlled substances, knowingly violating state or federal statutes or regulations, and practicing the profession fraudulently. This case involves serious violations related to controlled substance prescribing and fraudulent practice, stemming from out-of-state disciplinary action that triggered New York State proceedings.
