Texas Medical Board (TMB) has adopted a new “fast-track” procedure that will allow doctors facing discipline for relatively minor administrative violations to quickly resolve the matter.
Physicians who choose to participate in the new fast-track system can agree to administrative charges and pay a fine, rather than undergo a full investigation. A doctor who challenges the charges can dispute the violation in writing and the case will be reviewed by a committee. The physician may opt out of fast-track entirely and challenge the charges through TMB’s traditional investigation and litigation process.
