People in certain professions, including those in the medical field and those requiring significant education and training, are required to obtain licenses from government organizations in the state where they will be practicing.

Complete Representation for the Licensed Professional

For many professionals, discipline to their license is only the beginning of the issues that may affect their ability to continue working in their chosen field. The suspension or revocation of a professional license can lead to a variety of other consequences, including accreditation allowing a person or business to perform certain types of services. Medical professionals face significant risks following the loss of a medical license, and when other organizations are informed of disciplinary action, they may also take action to restrict a person's ability to provide treatment to patients. Doctors, nurses, or other medical providers may face the loss of hospital privileges. They may also be dropped by insurance companies, and they may lose their certification with medical specialty boards. Our firm can help medical professionals defend against these penalties and address issues that may affect their ongoing careers.

Attorney Profile

Loss of Hospital Privileges + Provider Status

One of the most serious issues that can affect medical professionals who face disciplinary action is the potential loss of provider status with Medicare and Medicaid. To ensure that they can provide treatment for patients who are covered by these programs, doctors or other providers will need to maintain provider status. Issues that lead to discipline, such as unprofessional conduct or criminal convictions, may also cause Medicare or Medicaid to revoke a person's provider status. This status may also be affected by the information uncovered during audits performed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. If an audit finds that a practice has engaged in fraudulent billing practices or has improperly billed Medicare or Medicaid for services provided to patients, their provider status may be revoked. Our firm can help providers address these issues and protect their ability to provide services through Medicare and Medicaid.

DEA Investigations

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) investigates a variety of offenses related to drug trafficking. Medical providers and other professionals who work with controlled substances may learn that they are the subject of a DEA investigation. If the DEA has reason to believe that a person has engaged in drug diversion involving illegal prescriptions or unlawful dispensing of controlled substances, it may choose to suspend a provider's controlled substance registration. This may lead to disciplinary action affecting a person's professional license, and in some cases, a person may also face criminal prosecution for drug crimes.
