What is a Sanction?
Sanctions, also known as disciplinary actions, are actions taken to punish or restrict physicians who have demonstrated professional misconduct. HealthGrades reports state and federal disciplinary actions (if any) from the previous 5 years except when a physician’s license has been revoked or surrendered.
Physicians with a disciplinary action in one state will often move to another state where they may have a clean record. Since HealthGrades painstakingly compiles disciplinary action information from all 50 states, you’ll know if a physician has an action in more than one state.
What this means to you:
If a physician has a sanction, it does not necessarily mean that he or she is a bad doctor. Evaluate the information and determine how severe you think the cause and action were.
