The PHP Landscape
Many physicians have concerns about the national surge in sham peer reviews and referrals to Physicians Health Programs. Current investigations show that those concerns may be well founded.
Improper Referrals
Patient safety advocates, whistleblowers and those with chronic health conditions have become the targets of overreaching PHPs
Length of Stay
Many physicians go for evaluation but find themselves spending 60-90 days away from their families for mandatory and improper inpatient stays
Over Charging
Physicians may be drastically overcharged for unnecessary treatments
Loss of Earnings and Practice
Many physicians are forced into extended PHP stays losing months of earnings, some their practices
Medical License and Hospital Privileges
Many physicians comply with the PHP and still lose their hospital privileges and medical license
