When physicians are charged with criminal conduct related to the practice of medicine, the matter is almost always referred to the state licensing board for discipline. If the conduct complained of is related to the Medicare or Medicaid programs, the physician may also be subjected to civil monetary penalties. As a result, physicians are often faced with multiple punishments for a single offense. In this article, the author discusses how a recent United State Supreme Court decision may provide immunity to physicians from multiple punishment.
当医生被指控有与医疗执业相关的犯罪行为时，此事几乎总是会被提交给州许可委员会进行纪律处分。如果被投诉的行为与医疗保险或医疗补助计划有关，该医生还可能会受到民事罚款。因此，医生常常因单一罪行而面临多种处罚。在本文中，作者探讨了美国最高法院最近的一项裁决如何可能使医生免于多重处罚。
