Authorization No. 219706-9B

August 5, 2024

Pursuant to Workers' Compensation Law Section 13-d(4), the Chair of the New York State Workers' Compensation Board ("Chair") had exercised her authority to temporarily suspend the authorization of Dr. Alan Ng (hereinafter, "the provider") to treat injured workers and to perform independent medical examinations in the New York State workers' compensation system effective March 15, 2018, (Subject Number 046-1040).

The temporary suspension was based on the Chair's designee's investigation, which revealed that the New York State Department of Health, State Board for Professional Medical Conduct had issued Order # 18-046, wherein Dr. Ng agreed not to contest the allegations, including that during the periods from in or about 2013-2016, he failed to render and/or note appropriate care and treatment to multiple patients, and prescribed medications, including controlled substances, inappropriately to these patients. This resulted in a Censure and Reprimand, and a 36-month probationary period.

Upon completion of the probationary period, the Chair has rescinded the temporary suspension of the provider, and has reinstated their authority to treat injured workers and to perform independent medical examinations effective April 20, 2023. Additionally, this provider has been restored to the Board's list of authorized providers.

Any questions regarding the authorized lists should be referred to the Medical Director's Office at 1 (800) 781-2362.
