Our Client, B.H., MD, faced a complaint (“Complaint”) brought by the Texas Medical Board (“Board”), which alleged that B.H. failed to properly utilize the Texas Electronic Death Registry for a patient who passed away at the hospital where B.H. was the attending physician. B.H. did not receive notice of the death certificate from the funeral home until far later than required by law, which was the crux of our argument in his defense.
We secured a dismissal of the Complaint at an informal conference before a panel of the Board, by providing satisfactory evidence that the funeral home was at fault for the late Death Registry entry, not B.H.
