Stephen Herring, MD; Charles Garrett, MD, Chair; Aloysius Walsh; Michael Norins, MD; Arthur McCulloch, MD The Policy Committee of the North Carolina Medical Board was called to order at 3:35 PM, Wednesday, June 18, 2003, at the office of the Board. Present were: Stephen M. Herring, MD, Chair; Charles L. Garrett, MD; and Arthur McCulloch, MD.

been approved previously. Purchased Laboratory Tests (Dr Herring and Mr Mansfield) (Dr Garrett recused himself from this discussion) [At the June 2002 Board meeting, a motion passed that the Board and Medical Society’s

attorneys jointly seek a private opinion from the AMA Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs concerning this question, asking it about the ethical issues involved.

Additional information was received, including a policy developed by the North Carolina Society of Pathologists (NCSP). It was also reported that the president of the North Carolina Medical Society would be willing to put together a working group of the Society and Board members to review the issue. At the October 2002 Committee meeting, several guests spoke to the issue, including Keith Nance, MD, President, North Carolina Society of Pathologists; Laura Lomax, MD, President, North Carolina Dermatology Association; William S. Ketcham, MD, practicing dermatologist; John Bower, MD, practicing pathologist; and Michael Crowell, JD, of Tharrington Smith.

At the December 2002 Committee meeting, the following comments were received from interested individuals attending the meeting.

Michael Crowell, JD, repeated his position of October that the Board should have a position statement on markups. He then introduced Jane Pine Wood, JD. Ms Wood indicated that she represents 85 groups in 35 states. She reviewed several issues: the incentive for the national pathology provider to get Medicare work; the element of quid pro quo; medical work in exchange for discounts; the physician’s looking for the most cost effective provider and not necessarily the best quality provider; possible violation of anti-kickback law; the AMA’s ethical opinion, adopted over 20 years ago, that physicians should not be purchasing services and putting a markup on those services; the need for more specific guidance for physicians in North Carolina; states that require direct billing; states that take a position that services can be marked up as long as the bill shows what that markup is. She expressed concern that North Carolina is unregulated in this regard and the Inspector General of HHS has said they could view a discount by a pathology provider to a physician as violation of the anti-kickback law. In her clients’ jurisdictions, where by statute a markup for a handling fee is permitted, the fees are generally under $10, and are tied to the service. However, it is not uncommon for discounts to be offered on pathology services of up to 50%, with physicians adding a markup.

At the February 2003 meeting, Mr Mansfield indicated this subject continued to be a work in progress, with the North Carolina Medical Society coordinating the efforts. In addition, he indicated there would be no opinion coming from the AMA Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs.

At the April meeting, Mr Mansfield said he expected something from the Medical Society relatively soon, though there was nothing new to report at the April meeting. He was to report the results of the Medical Society’s efforts to Dr Herring when they became available.]

At this meeting, Mr Mansfield stated that work continues on this subject and he expects to report something at the next Policy Committee meeting.

Optometrists Performing Certain Injections (Dr Garrett and Mr Mansfield) [In September 18, 2002, Dr Pories, then president, thanked the North Carolina Board of

Optometry for notifying the Medical Board regarding optometrists treating and managing chalazia. Dr Garrett described chalazia in detail. There was a consensus that the NC Medical Board is concerned about non-physicians performing this procedure. On September 19, 2002, the Medical Board sent a letter to the Board of Optometry stating: “The Medical Board understands from your memorandum of August 13, 2002, to North Carolina Licensed Optometrists (a copy of which is attached) that your Board is preparing to issue ‘privileges’ to perform certain procedures requiring injections in the practice of Optometry. The Board has reviewed your memorandum and is concerned that the activities contemplated may constitute the unlicensed practice of medicine. The Medical Board wishes to advise your Board that it may take legal action in the event that optometrists perform acts that constitute the practice of medicine.”

At the December 2002 Policy committee meeting, Dr Garrett stated that it appeared the optometrists are going to begin training and certifying optometrists to do injections within the

JUNE 18-19, 2003

next 60-90 days. He believed it was going to happen even though they have been put on notice that that would be a violation of the MPA and the Medical Board would take action. He requests that Mr Mansfield be authorized to enter into conversation with Mr Loper, who represents the Board of Optometry, to see if we can bring this issue before a judge and get a ruling before the optometrists go forward with the injections. Mr Mansfield indicated he had spoken briefly with Mr Loper and they would like the opportunity to discuss this approach, to try to resolve differences, and to see if there is a way to get a ruling. This will take time and resources. Mr Loper indicated he did not know if the optometrists’ current course of action could be held off, but he would be happy to sit down with his clients and see if they would entertain a standstill until “litigation by agreement could occur.” He indicated that in his experience it would be hard to get in front of a judge and get a decision in 60-90 days.

Mr Bobbitt, representing the North Carolina Society of Ophthalmologists, commended this approach, saying it could keep anyone from getting hurt.

Mr Mansfield was ultimately authorized to confer with Mr Loper on this matter to see what could be done to facilitate the approach proposed

At the February Policy Committee meeting, Mr Mansfield reported to the Committee on his discussions in closed session. Following that, the full Board passed a motion authorizing Mr Mansfield to continue negotiations and discussions with Mr Loper regarding potential litigation between the Medical Board and the Optometry Board.

At the April Policy Committee meeting, Mr. Mansfield reported that negotiations with Mr. Loper were continuing.]

Mr Mansfield’s discussion at this point dealt with legal matters and was closed pursuant to NCGS 143-318.11 (a) to discuss prospective litigation and to preserve attorney client confidences. (No written materials were included.)

Mr Mansfield’s report was accepted and he was asked to continue the process. Ethical guidelines for the Use of Electronic Mail between Patients and Physicians (Mr Mansfield and Ms Phelps) [A report from the AMA Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs titled “Ethical Guidelines

for the Use of Electronic Mail Between Patients and Physicians” was presented to the Committee. Dr Garrett stated this report is exhaustive and has several good points. He asked if our licensees might be aided if they had a position statement on this subject.

At the February Policy Committee meeting, Mr Mansfield and Mr Breaden were asked to explore this report with a goal of extracting some precise information for North Carolina licensees on the use of e-mail and privacy issues. Ms Phelps was requested to brief the committee on what the HIPPA implications might be.

At the April committee meeting Ms Phelps was unable to attend and this item was tabled.]

Ms Phelps reported that she has not had a chance to review this issue as yet. Action: The following team will work on this issue: Mr Mansfield, Ms Yonowitz, Ms Phelps,

and Mr Henderson. Board’s Medical Records Statements and HIPPA (Ms Phelps)

[The Medical Board is reviewing the Position Statements due to recent implementation of the new HIPPA rules to ensure the Medical Board’s statements are in compliance.] Ms Phelps reported to this meeting that she had reviewed the Board’s position statements and there are five that are potentially affected. Most are minor but the access to physician records position statement may require a significant change.

Action: The following team will work on this issue: Mr Mansfield, Ms Yonowitz, Ms Phelps, and Mr Henderson.

Medical Care Policy - A Letter from Dr. Patrick Gray The Board recently received a letter for Dr Patrick Gray requesting the Medical Board

consider promulgating a set of medical care policies for providers of pregnancy termination. Action: Ms Yonowitz will contact the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists

(ACOG) for guidance and report back to the Committee. A follow-up letter will be sent to Dr Gray by Ms Clark.

Compliance with Reporting Requirements The issue of compliance with the reporting requirements of 90-14.13 was noted. Action: This matter is referred to the Malpractice Committee for further study. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. The next regular meeting of the Policy Committee is tentatively set for 3:30PM, Wednesday, August 20, 2003. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT
