YW WY STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, Petitioner, v. CASE NO.: 97-00988 GLENN ROSS CADDY, Respondent. / ee ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, hereinafter referred to as “Petitioner”, files this Administrative Complaint before the Board of Psychology against GLENN ROSS CADDY, hercinafter referred to as “Respondent”, and alleges: 1. Effective July 1, 1997, Petitioner is the state agency charged with regulating the practice of Psychology pursuant to Section 20.43, Florida Statutes, Chapter 455, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 490, Florida Statutes. Pursuant to the authority of Section 20.43(3)(f), Petitioner has contracted with the Agency for Health Care Administration to provide consumer complaint, investigative, and prosecutorial services required by the Division of Medical Quality Assurance, councils, or boards as appropriate, including the issuance of emergency orders of suspension or restriction. 2. Respondent is, and has been at all times material hereto, a licensed Psychologist in the state of Florida, having been issued license number PY 0002093. 3. Respondent’s last known address is 2801 North University Drive #201, Coral Springs, Florida 33065. EXHIBIT 1 —_ A _: od U 4. From approximately June 1994 to August 1996 Respondent was the court- appointed psychologist in the marriage dissolution custody case between R.B. and J.A.B. 5. The billing statements reflect that Respondent conducted four psychological evaluations and seven psychotherapy sessions with J.A.B., the mother of the minor child. 6. According to’the patient records, Respondent only saw J.A.B. on five separate occasions. 7. Respondent billed J.A.B.’s insurance company repeatedly for psychotherapy sessions he was not authorized to perform and which never took place. Respondent was only supposed to conduct an evaluation of J.A.B. J.A.B. was receiving counseling elsewhere at the time, through Christian Counseling services. Respondent never had written or oral consent from J.A.B. to perform any type of psychotherapy. 8. When J.A.B. attended an evaluation session accompanied by her counselor, Respondent terminated the session early and charged J.A.B. as if the entire session had taken place. 9, When J.A.B. attended an evaluation session accompanied by her attorney, Respondent terminated the scheduled appointment and charged PAB. for the session. 10, Additionally, Respondent billed J.A. B.’s insurance company for collateral contact, although Respondent testified in court that he made no collateral contact on behalf of J.A.B. 11. Respondent spent the majority of his authorized court time providing services, evaluations, and psychotherapy to J.A.B.’s ex-husband, R.B. There are in excess of thirty psychotherapy sessions billed to R.B. Respondent testified that he . 7] conducted psychological testing only with the ex-husband and not J.A.B. Respondent further testified that his total time spent with J.A.B. amounted to two and a half hours. 12. Respondent also charged J.A.B. for report preparation when there is no : documentation of there ever being a written report. Respondent only testified in a deposition and to the court. 13. Based on the amount of professional time spent with J.A.B. and R.B. and the absence of any psychological testing performed on J _AB., Respondent’s evaluation of both parties with regard to the marriage dissolution custody case was biased in favor of RB. Respondent’s ability to evaluate J.A.B. and R.B. objectively was compromised, and . his findings were one-sided. COUNT I 14. Based on the foregoing, Respondent has violated Section 490.009(2)(s), Florida Statutes, by failing to meet the minimum standards of performance in professional activities when measured against generally prevailing peer performance, including the undertaking of activities for which the licensee is not qualified by training \. or experience. COUNT IL 15. Petitioner realleges and incorporates by reference the allegations contained in paragraphs one (1) through thirteen (13). 16. Based on the foregoing, Respondent has violated Section 490.009(2)(i), Florida Statutes, by willfully making or filing a false report or record; failing to file a report or record required by state or federal law. VY UY COUNT IN 17. Petitioner realleges and incorporates by reference the allegations contained in paragraphs one (1) through thirteen (13). 18. Based on the foregoing, Respondent has violated Section 490.009(2)(1), Florida Statutes, by making misleading, deceptive, untrue, or fraudulent representations in the practice of any profession licensed under this chapter. WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests the Board of Psychology to enter an order imposing one or more of the following penalties: revocation or suspension of Respondent’s license, restriction of Respondent’s practice, imposition of an administrative fine, issuance of a reprimand, placement of Respondent’s license on probation for a period of time and subject to term and/or any other relief which the Board deems appropriate.
