A 10022 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires certain health care providers to disclose their disciplinary status to current and new patients

This bill (A 10022) requires healthcare providers found guilty of specific serious misconduct - such as sexual abuse, drug abuse causing patient harm, or inappropriate prescribing leading to a 5+ year probation - to provide written disclosure to current and new patients before treatment begins. The disclosure must detail the provider’s probation status, penalties, cause of disciplinary action, practice restrictions, and contact information for the oversight office. Patients or their health care representatives must sign a copy of this disclosure, and providers cannot charge for canceled appointments due to this disclosure. It applies to providers with probation for offenses listed in the bill, excluding emergency situations where immediate care is needed.

MODERATE

The bill was amended to broaden the scope of mandatory disclosures for healthcare providers with disciplinary records. The changes clarify that providers must disclose their status if they have entered into a stipulated settlement with the medical board, not just if they were formally found guilty of misconduct. Additionally, the threshold for mandatory disclosure regarding repeat offenses was lowered from requiring three separate probation periods to requiring a cumulative total of three years on probation.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded to include providers who have settled disciplinary matters without a formal finding of guilt and adjusted the criteria for repeat offenders to focus on the total time spent on probation rather than the number of separate incidents.

REQUIREMENT

Expanded the list of situations requiring disclosure to include providers who entered into a stipulated settlement with the board, ensuring transparency even when a formal court finding of misconduct is not issued.

Changed the trigger for mandatory disclosure regarding repeat offenses from being on probation for an offense more than three times to being on probation for a cumulative total of three years, potentially capturing more providers with longer histories of probation.

Reduced the probationary period threshold for inappropriate prescribing from five years to three years, lowering the bar for when disclosure becomes mandatory for this specific offense.

Updated references to the 'board for professional medical conduct' to ensure consistency, replacing instances where the 'office' was incorrectly cited as the issuing authority for certain orders.
