Commments & Suggestions

We cannot get rid of "recertification." The public and the politicians will not go for that. It will strengthen the "MOC industry" to argue for complete recertification elimination, we would be digging our own graves in that regard. We can demand that the insanity of recertification must stop and that recertification via reasonable means is needed. The method of the NBPAS is the correct model: 1. Active license 2. Some level of medical practice (i.e. not retired) 3. CMEs 4. Maybe some level of no active license sanctions or active disciplinary stuff (i.e. not malpractice stuff) 5. The NBPAS also has some specifics for surgery that are also reasonable and not crazy. This is what basically existed before the MOC industry started--if you need to maintain hospital credentials that is.

Tort reform should be the one issue that unites us all and that only we can do as docs. There are no external politics on this one, the lawyers everywhere will attack and we should be ready. Pick a specialty (my guess OB/GYN) and pick a state to make a stand with a national voice. We should adapt the techniques of the political progressives in this regard--details later if this flies.

I worked with teladoc as an independent contractor for over 4 years and never had any trouble until this past year. During the pandemic, a lot of people have been flocking to internal medicine via telemedicine visits and teladoc reaped the benefits of that. As a result a lot of insurance companies started approving telemedicine visits. In June of this year I was placed on a performance improvement program by a senior medical director at teladoc who for some reason had been picking on me for over the past year. I was alarmed that I was put on such disciplinary measures but the reason that I was given for it was because I was using templates as a structure for writing my notes. That's not a new practice for me and it's something that I use all the time when I work in the hospital as well. I complied with all of the rules that the senior doctor put into this performance program. He ended up saying that I was unsatisfactory on the performance plan because I only worked 20 out of the 30 days. I didn't think it was reasonable to work 30 out of the 30 days and so I resigned and informed the medical director. He never replied. Following this there was lots of silence, except Teladoc kept harassing me to take more consults. I found out in late August 2020 that I was reported by teladoc to the national practitioner data bank because I resigned during an investigation. I had to appeal it through internal Teladoc process which Teladoc denied removing the complaint to the data bank but gave no reason for it.having never dealt with this issue before, because I've never been the subject of any disciplinary action ever in over 14 years of practice, I looked at what the policies were of the data bank. Unfortunately, unless Teladoc removes their report it will stay on the NPDB permanently this will permanently damage my professional reputation and will cause problems for me with other hospitals and healthcare entities I work for as well as state licensure. I want other physicians to be warned to stay away from this company. They have been reporting many doctors and getting away with this. There is no power any physician has against the NPDB. The dispute process is baloney and it is used in a weaponized fashion.

If there was ever enough funding, United Physicians should spearhead a few television/internet advertisements touting the relevance of physicians. This would be akin the NP's coordinated ad campaign of "Choose NP." We have assumed, incorrectly, that the relevance of physicians would ever be questioned by the public or lawmakers. Without the public on physician's side, it will be difficult to advance an agenda.
