Regulators on Wednesday suspended the license of a Chicago psychiatrist accused of overprescribing narcotics and sexually molesting mentally ill patients.

Dr. Josip Pasic engaged in sexual conduct with mentally ill patients to whom he also prescribed opioid painkillers and other drugs, according to an emergency order signed by Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation’s acting director, Jessica Baer.

One patient, a recovering drug addict, told investigators he endured the doctor touching his groin because he needed his medication and it was difficult to find a doctor who accepted Medicaid.

Another patient with bipolar disorder reported that Pasic groped him and gave him $80 when the patient threatened to report it.

The allegations, dating back a decade, led one low-income clinic in Chicago, Circle Family Healthcare, to drop Pasic as a doctor.

Pasic is accused of failing to report to regulators that he was the subject of three investigations into his conduct with patients, an omission that in itself is grounds for discipline.

He also failed to tell a Chicago hospital about the investigations when he applied for privileges there, the disciplinary order states.

Pasic and his attorney didn’t immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

He has been ordered to appear before the state medical board on Dec. 22.

The documents state that one patient reported Pasic to the police in 2012, but no charges were filed.
