An administrative warning is a “non-public” matter. It is non-disciplinary. This means that:

• It is not reported to the National Practictioner’s Data Bank.

• It is not posted on the New York State Department of Health’s Physicians’ Profiles website.

• It is not reported to hospitals where the physician has admitting privileges.

• It is not reported to insurance companies or HMOs in which the physician is a participating provider.

• A physician may affirm under oath that s/he has never been disciplined.

• The Board will confirm to anyone who inquires that the physician has not been disciplined.
