Among the statute violations, department officials found shortages of painkiller medication in the pain management clinic’s inventory. Additionally, A Stop Pain Management failed to comply with a state law requiring pain clinics to be owned by a physician. When the law went into effect in Oct. 2010, the health department notified A Stop Pain management that its registration as a pain clinic would be revoked since there was no designated physician owner.
A Stop consequently notified the health department that it had applied for a healthcare license through the Agency for Health Care Administration. However, when the agency denied its application, the pain clinic did not notify the department.
