2006 New York Code - Revocation Of Licenses Of Compensation Medical Bureaus And Laboratories.

 
    §  13-e.  Revocation  of  licenses of compensation medical bureaus and
  laboratories. The chairman may revoke the license  of  any  compensation
  medical  bureau  or  laboratory  upon  a finding certified to him by the
  medical society of the county in which  such  bureau  or  laboratory  is
  located,  or by a board designated by such medical society or otherwise,
  as provided under section thirteen-b, or by the  medical  appeals  unit,
  that  such bureau or laboratory has been guilty of professional or other
  misconduct, or of violation of the provisions of this chapter,  or  that
  the  personnel  of  such  bureau  is  not  properly qualified under this
  chapter,  or  that  the  equipment  of  such  bureau  or  laboratory  is
  inadequate for the proper rendering of medical care.
    The  medical appeals unit may review the determination of such medical
  society or board, and on application of the compensation medical  bureau
  or  laboratory accused must do so, and may reopen the matter and receive
  further evidence. The decision and recommendation of the medical appeals
  unit shall be advisory to the chairman, and  shall  not  be  binding  or
  conclusive upon him.
    The  medical  appeals  unit  shall  prescribe  the  rules of procedure
  governing the investigation, hearing and determination of all charges of
  professional or other misconduct under this section.
    Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting in any  respect
  the   power  or  duty  of  the  chairman  to  investigate  instances  of
  misconduct,  or  violations  of  the  provisions  of  this  chapter,  or
  violations  of rules promulgated by the chairman under the provisions of
  this chapter, or failure to submit full  and  truthful  medical  reports
  directly   to  the  chairman  within  the  time  limits  provided  under
  subdivision four of section thirteen-a of this chapter, either before or
  after investigation or hearing by a medical society or board, or  review
  by  the  medical  appeals  unit  as  herein provided, and to temporarily
  suspend the license of any laboratory or  medical  bureau,  or  after  a
  hearing to revoke the same.
