When you decide to leave your practice, you will need to write a letter. While you might be tempted to use the Internet to reach out to patients, this is not a good idea. Your letter should be specific to your practice, but it is also important to think about how you will communicate with them. Be honest about your reasons for leaving, but don't lie to them. Practices often come to an agreement regarding the response to patient inquiries about tenure. Some practices post placards in the waiting room with the new contact information. Voice mail systems may also be modified with the new contact information.
If you are planning to leave your practice, be sure to understand the terms of your employment agreement. The terms of your employment agreement must be understood thoroughly, and a physician should carefully review the practice's policies before requesting to leave. Some employment agreements allow practice policies to apply even if they conflict with the physician's employment agreement. The letter must include all relevant information about the closing and upcoming practice activities. Be sure to give all your patients plenty of notice before your departure.
It is essential to leave adequate forwarding information, as patients and payors may need to contact you in the future. This is especially true if you've made any adjustments or audits. It's also vital to make sure there are no complaints filed against you with the medical board, since these will likely follow you when you try to find licensure in a different state. It is important to follow up with any patient who had an appointment with you to offer them another doctor.
