32. When the Board forwards a payment to a beneficiary after the latter has presented a statement of fees for insured services furnished by a professional who has withdrawn, it must, at the same time, give a written notice thereof to that professional; the latter shall not exact or receive from the beneficiary any payment of fees for insured services before he receives that notice. A professional who has withdrawn who contravenes this section is guilty of an offence and is liable, on summary proceeding, in addition to payment of the costs, to the fine provided for in section 31.
