Mr. Karnik was sworn in and testified for the record. Verbatim testimony was taken by the court reporter. The evidence showed, and Mr. Karnik admitted, that he has been convicted of health care fraud in the state of Delaware. After deliberations, Mrs. Ho-Ruggiero made a motion, seconded by Mr. Robinson, to suspend Mr. Karnik’s license for not less than a year, and if he shows the board proof of successful completion of the following requirements, Mr. Karnik may have his license reinstated on probationary status for an additional two years during which time his practice will be restricted so that he can not be in private practice. The conditions that must be successfully completed before Mr. Karnik’s license may be removed from suspension are as follows: Mr. Karnik must 1) provide documentation that he has successfully complete counseling for gambling addiction wit a licensed or certified addictions counselor. This evidence must include a progress report from the provider reflecting his successful completion of a program; 2) complete seven hours of continuing education in ethics that may not be counted toward his 45 hours of continuing education required for license renewal; and 3) complete six hours of continuing education in the area of treating gambling addiction, which may not be counted toward the 45 hours of continuing education required for license renewal. None of his continuing education may be completed through self-directed activity. If requirements are not complete to the satisfaction of the board, the board reserves the right to extend the suspension or revoke Mr. Karnik’s license. Motion carried.
