Discipline Hearing Costs
Council has approved an inflation-
ary increase in the hearing costs or-
dered for physicians who are found
to have committed an act of profes-
sional misconduct or are found to be
incompetent.
Council voted to raise the tariff
rate – the daily cost of conduct-
ing a hearing — from $10,180 to
$10,370 per day, a 1.85% inflation-
ary increase.
Although the amount may seem
significant, $10,370 a day does not
take into account the actual investi-
gative and legal costs and expenses
incurred in conducting an investiga-
tion and preparing for a hearing.
