The resignation as an officer, director and retirement plan trustee. Removal as a signatory on corporate bank accounts. Removal as a guarantor or surety of any practice debt or lease if permitted by the creditor. The orderly transfer of patient records. Often, the original records stay with the practice, and the departing doctor may obtain copies thereof upon the written request of a patient, usually at the expense of the departing doctor.
Access is required by law if there is litigation.
Occasionally, in an amicable split-up, the doctors may agree upon a division of the records based upon who is primarily responsible for the patient. Notices to patients and referring physicians. The exact language of such notices needs to be agreed upon, as well as who will pay for them and who will receive them. Personal items to be taken by the departing doctor. If they are substantial and they were paid for by the practice, perhaps the departing doctor should pay the practice for the items.
