If you are planning to leave your practice, you should provide notice to your patients in a letter. The letter should explain why you are leaving, and introduce your replacement doctor. The letter should also thank patients for their loyalty. The letter should be signed professionally and personalized with the patient's name.
The letter must include appropriate forwarding information. This information is important because patients and payors may want to contact the departing physician if there are any questions or concerns. In addition, patients and physicians may file complaints with medical boards about the departing physician. Leaving complaints can cause difficulties if a departing physician wants to practice in another state.
As a physician, it is important to remember that you are responsible for keeping patient records. According to Texas Medical Board regulations, you must provide your patients with a copy of their medical records. It is essential to provide this information to your patients, so that they can transfer them to another physician.
Thousands of physicians leave their practices every year. Many choose to sell their practices or leave for more lucrative opportunities. Many physicians focus on their new positions and leave behind all the details of their former practice. But this can lead to mistakes that will impact them for years to come.
