RE:
Advisory opinion request as to whether Dr. SreyRam Kuy may accept employment with a Louisiana licensed hospital or other healthcare provider that accepts Medicaid payments for medical services.
Facts:
Dr. SreyRam Kuy is currently employed as the Medicaid Medical Director/Chief Medical Officer of the Bureau of Health Services Financing (BHSF) within the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH). Dr. Kuy would like to work for Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center (OLOL) as a surgeon providing urgent surgical care in order to maintain her clinical skills. Although Dr. Kuy will not be directly involved in the billing process or inquiring about the insurance status of patients, OLOL accepts and treats patients that are Medicaid recipients. OLOL and other Louisiana licensed hospitals or healthcare providers that accept Medicaid payments must adhere to regulations of the DHH Secretary and BHSF.
Law:
La. R.S. 42:1111C(2)(d) prohibits a public servant from receiving compensation for services rendered to the following persons: (1) those who have or are seeking to obtain a business, contractual or financial relationship with the public servant's agency, (2) those who conduct operations or activities that are regulated by the public servant's agency, and (3) those who have a substantial economic interest that could be affected by the performance or non-performance of the public servant's official duty.
Recommendations:
Adopt the proposed advisory opinion.
Assigned Attorney: Jennifer Land
