§ 13-e. Revocation of licenses of compensation medical bureaus and
laboratories. The chairman may revoke the license of any compensation
medical bureau or laboratory upon a finding certified to him by the
medical society of the county in which such bureau or laboratory is
located, or by a board designated by such medical society or otherwise,
as provided under section thirteen-b, or by the medical appeals unit,
that such bureau or laboratory has been guilty of professional or other
misconduct, or of violation of the provisions of this chapter, or that
the personnel of such bureau is not properly qualified under this
chapter, or that the equipment of such bureau or laboratory is
inadequate for the proper rendering of medical care.

The medical appeals unit may review the determination of such medical
society or board, and on application of the compensation medical bureau
or laboratory accused must do so, and may reopen the matter and receive
further evidence. The decision and recommendation of the medical appeals
unit shall be advisory to the chairman, and shall not be binding or
conclusive upon him.

The medical appeals unit shall prescribe the rules of procedure
governing the investigation, hearing and determination of all charges of
professional or other misconduct under this section.

Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting in any respect
the power or duty of the chairman to investigate instances of
misconduct, or violations of the provisions of this chapter, or
violations of rules promulgated by the chairman under the provisions of
this chapter, or failure to submit full and truthful medical reports
directly to the chairman within the time limits provided under
subdivision four of section thirteen-a of this chapter, either before or
after investigation or hearing by a medical society or board, or review
by the medical appeals unit as herein provided, and to temporarily
suspend the license of any laboratory or medical bureau, or after a
hearing to revoke the same.
