Out of State Physician Enters into an Agreed Order with the WMC

OLYMPIA, WA – The Washington Medical Commission (WMC) and Miguel R. Antonatos, MD (License #61023368) entered into an Agreed Order placing conditions on Antonatos’ license. 

Antonatos, who has a telemedicine practice and resides in Illinois, prescribed ivermectin to four Washington patients based on an online questionnaire. Antonatos agreed that he would not prescribe ivermectin for non-FDA-approved conditions and agreed that when he prescribes medication or provides care to patients in Washington, he would first establish a physician-patient relationship by seeing the patient either in person or via real-time video.

Antonatos also agreed to complete courses on record-keeping and on basic infectious disease, submit to compliance audits, and pay a fine of $6,000. Antonatos may petition to terminate the Agreed Order in five years.

Legal documents in this case are available online by visiting the DOH Provider Credential Search.
