Medical specialist attorney, I have a question about hospital business suspension.

If you fraudulently claimed treatment fees and received insurance benefits like in your case, this is a matter that may not only result in administrative disposition for hospital business suspension but also criminal punishment for reasons such as violation of the Medical Service Act.

It may be considered fraud, and if recognized, imprisonment of up to 10 years or a fine of up to 20 million won may be imposed, and if a sentence of imprisonment without labor or higher is reported, the medical institution opening permission may be revoked.

If a violation has been detected and you have been notified of the planned disposition, you can submit opinions or proceed with hearing procedures within 10-30 days, and the period of business suspension and whether the disposition will be imposed are confirmed by reflecting the explanation results.

If the disposition does not change despite this and you think the suspension disposition is unjust, you can request cancellation through an objection or administrative appeal.

You must file an administrative lawsuit within 60 days from the date of receiving the administrative appeal's ruling.

In addition, you can also proceed with administrative lawsuit with the assistance of an administrative lawsuit/medical specialist attorney.

Also, immediate damage can be minimized through the provisional injunction application procedure for hospital business suspension disposition.

Hospital business suspension disposition itself is a serious problem that can cause serious economic damage to medical institutions. If you receive a hospital business suspension disposition, you should carefully review the specific reasons for the disposition and applicable defense methods, and quickly determine whether you can utilize objection procedures or the penalty surcharge replacement system.
