The Kansas State Board of Healing Arts has taken disciplinary action against a southwest Kansas doctor over billing issues.

Dr. Sharon Mitchell has been practicing internal medicine for about eight years in Liberal.

Under a consent order, she will be required to complete a continuing education course for billing and coding. An independent audit reviewer will supply a monthly report to the Board of Healing Arts, with Mitchell paying the cost of the audit work.

Mitchell said she had not personally handled the billings and wasn't aware there were problems.

She can seek to modify or end the provisions of the consent order after three years.
