Austin, TX – On September 14, 2012, Commissioner of Workers’ Compensation Rod Bordelon issued an Emergency Cease and Desist Order to restrict Dr. Wayne M. Soignier, M.D. from providing health care in the Texas workers’ compensation system, including serving as a designated doctor.
Texas Labor Code §415.0211 provides that the Commissioner of Workers’ Compensation may issue an Emergency Cease and Desist Order if the Commissioner believes a person regulated by the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation is engaging in conduct violating a law or rule or order; and the Commissioner believes that the alleged conduct will result in harm to the health, safety or welfare of another person.
The Texas Medical Board recently entered an order temporarily restricting Soignier from any clinical practice of medicine or any direct or indirect patient contact until further notice.
