250.992 Amendment to OPMC Reporting Requirement Associated with Physician Profile Updates
Under New York State Law, failure of a physician to update his/her profile within six (6) months of license renewal, can be considered as professional misconduct and reportable to the OPMC for immediate action. The Medical Society of the State of New York will seek regulation/ legislation to allow a 60-day grace period for physicians to comply after receipt of a warning letter, and if a physician still does not comply after the 60 days grace period, then and only then should it be considered a reportable event. MSSNY, county and specialty societies will immediately begin to notify their members about the importance and urgency of updating their individual profiles in a timely and expeditious manner.
In an effort to ensure that physicians comply with the requirement of updating their profile, MSSNY will request there be notification with a direct link to www.nydoctorprofile.com which must be completed prior to submission of the registration renewal when a physician renews his/her license online and for those physicians who may still renew their registration via paper, a copy of their updated profile must be included and sent together with the registration renewal.
