April 11, 2019 – The Dept. of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) served an order summarily suspending the controlled substance license of Larry Reid for overprescribing controlled substances.
LARA also served Reid with an accompanying administrative complaint that alleges the nature of his prescribing behavior. Specifically, LARA reviewed data from the Michigan Automated Prescription System (MAPS) between September 2017 to September 2018 and found the following:
Additionally, more than 22 percent of Reid’s controlled substance prescriptions were paid for in cash and patients traveled significant distances to obtain the prescriptions. High percentage of cash payments and traveling long distances are both indicators of filling prescriptions for illegitimate purposes.
The Michigan Public Health Code provides for summary suspension of licenses when the public health, safety, or welfare requires emergency action.
An order of summary suspension is a temporary measure to protect the public and not a final determination that a licensee has violated the Public Health Code.
LARA encourages all concerned residents, patients, parents and peers to file complaints against licensed health professionals who may allegedly be risking public health, safety or welfare.
For more information on filing a complaint with the department, visit Michigan.gov/BPL or review the Citizen’s Guide to Filing a Complaint.
