Basic Information about Retiring or Leaving the State

Because no action was taken to extend Mcare abatement before the end of the legislative session, physicians who had accepted abatement will be free to leave the state when their obligation ends on Dec. 31.

To assist physicians who may retire or leave the state, the Medical Society has prepared basic information on regulations and guidelines, including reminders to consider other obligations such as employment contracts that may set additional timelines. Find the resources below.
