Rockford doctor arrested Friday and charged with Medicare fraud returned today to federal court, where a judge granted several conditions for him to be released from custody.Dr. Charles DeHaan appeared in court wearing an orange Boone County Jail uniform and is expected to be released from jail later today. He lives in Belvidere.State officials temporarily suspended DeHaan's physician and surgeon license and his Illinois Controlled Substance license this month, citing a pattern of inappropriate sexual conduct with multiple patients.The cases intersected in federal court as Magistrate Judge Ian D. Johnston drew up terms for his release.DeHaan is not allowed to have contact with current or former patients. He's involved with a private practice called Housecall Physicians Group of Rockford.Any travel he does is restricted to the court districts of northern Illinois, northern Indiana and western Michigan.DeHaan's mother lives in Michigan, which is why he's allowed to travel there. Johnston denied defense attorney Debra Schafer's request to also allow DeHaan to visit his daughters in Oregon and Texas.DeHaan also is not allowed to visit assisted-living facilities where former or current patients are. The state's complaint regarding his suspended licenses involves reports of inappropriate sexual conduct with elderly patients at senior residential facilities between 2009 and 2013.DeHaan is still allowed to visit any assisted-living facility where his mother lives or may live in the near future.His wife, Mary, will be a third-party custodian responsible for reporting to the court if her husband violates any conditions of his release. DeHaan also was issued a $4,500 unsecured bond, which he doesn't have to pay but would pay if he violated his release terms.
