MSSNY will:

1. request that the New York State Office of Professional Conduct (OPMC) and the New York State Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG) should work together cooperatively to permit physicians who are participating in a program of rehabilitation that includes practicing only in a monitored setting to maintain enrollment as a participating provider in the New York State Medicaid Program; and

2. urge the New York State OMIG to recognize the plan of rehabilitation developed by the OPMC and Committee for Physician Health to permit physicians to return to the practice of medicine in a monitored setting and reinstate such physicians in the New York State Medicaid Program.
