Leaving Practice

January 10, 2024

Dear OMIC Insureds:

Ophthalmologists leave practices for many reasons, including illness, retirement, changes in employment status, and personal or family needs. Both the individual ophthalmologist and the practice need to take steps in order to promote continuity of care, prevent allegations of abandonment, and ensure that all involved ophthalmologists have access to the medical records in the event the care is ever called into question.

The leaving practice toolkit addresses the risks posed when an ophthalmologist retires or leaves a practice.

If you have questions, contact us for confidential risk management advice at riskmanagement@omic.com or call us at 1-800-562-6642 and enter 4 for Risk Management.

Sincerely,

Michelle Pineda, MBA
OMIC Risk Management
