What the document says
The Oklahoma Attorney General issued a supervisory board letter on November 2, 2026, responding to the Oklahoma Board of Chiropractic Examiners' request for an opinion on proposed disciplinary action against Mark Loftis, D.C., holder of Chiropractic License No. 4152. The Board filed Complaint No. 027-2026 against Loftis following his federal jury conviction for conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud. The complaint alleges that Loftis submitted bills to federal government healthcare agencies totaling more than $30,000,000. The Board alleges these actions violate 59 O.S.2021, § 161.12(B)(1) and OAC 140:15-7-5(6) and (8), which govern grounds for discipline under the Oklahoma Chiropractic Practice Act. Following an Advisory Committee report reviewed at a special meeting on October 2, 2026, the Board proposed to summarily suspend Loftis's license and order him to refrain from the practice of chiropractic pending a full disciplinary hearing. The authority for summary suspension rests on OAC 140-3-3-6 and 75 O.S.2021, § 314.1, which permit emergency action when the Board finds that public health, safety, or welfare imperatively requires it. Deputy General Counsel Cheryl Dixon issued the official opinion that the Board has adequate support for the conclusion that the proposed summary suspension advances Oklahoma's policy to protect public health, safety, and welfare. The full disciplinary process, including a hearing before the Board, remains pending.
What this may mean
Applies to chiropractors licensed in Oklahoma whose federal criminal convictions for healthcare fraud trigger state professional licensure disciplinary proceedings. Puts at issue the intersection of federal healthcare fraud convictions and state summary suspension authority under the Oklahoma Chiropractic Practice Act, 59 O.S.2021, § 161.12. BH/SUD treatment facilities, physician teams, and other provider entities employing or contracting with licensed chiropractors face the same summary suspension exposure under analogous state professional licensing frameworks.
