Lawyers Helping Licensed Professionals Address Legal and Certification Issues in Illinois and Throughout the U.S.

Healthcare providers and other types of professionals will need to receive and maintain the proper licensing in order to practice their chosen profession.

At The Law Offices of Joseph J. Bogdan, Inc., we provide complete representation for licensed professionals. No matter the stage of your career, the complexity of the legal matters you are facing, or the potential effects these matters may have on your license, we can provide the legal help you need.

Attorney Joseph Bogdan has been working with licensed professionals for nearly 20 years. He has served as a prosecutor for the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR), and he is a registered pharmacist, which gives him insight into the legal issues facing medical providers and other licensed professionals, as well as the policies and procedures of licensing boards, insurance companies, and government organizations.

Services for the Licensed Professional

Whether you are at the beginning of your career or have held a license for many years, we can address your legal needs and provide you with representation in any hearings or legal proceedings. We can assist with:

• License applications and renewals - We can help you meet all requirements when initially applying for a professional license, including addressing any concerns that may lead a licensing board to deny your application. We can also ensure that you are able to renew your license successfully and help you remove any impediments that may lead to the denial of your license renewal.
• Defending against disciplinary action - If you are facing discipline to your professional license, we can provide you with representation in informal conferences or disciplinary hearings before the applicable licensing boards, including the Illinois Board of Pharmacy, Illinois Medical Board, Illinois Dental Board, Illinois Board of Clinical Psychologists/Social Workers, Illinois Board of Chiropractors/Physical Therapists, Illinois Board of Nursing, or Illinois Real Estate Board.
• Board certification - In addition to professional licensing, many medical providers receive certification from specialty boards, demonstrating that they have extraordinary knowledge and skill in their areas of practice. We can provide representation in matters before these boards, ensuring that you can maintain your board certification and protect your reputation.
• Hospital privileges - The revocation of a medical provider's ability to provide services at a hospital or medical facility can have negative effects on their reputation and career. We can provide representation before hospital boards and committees to help you maintain your hospital privileges.
• Insurance provider status - Being able to provide services to patients through Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance companies is crucial for a healthcare provider. We can help you address any issues that may cause an insurer to revoke your enrollment in these programs.
• Audits - Medical offices, pharmacies, and other licensed professionals may be subject to audits by insurers or other organizations. We can assist with PBM pharmacy audits, Medicare/Medicaid audits, and other types of audits or inspections to ensure that you provide the right information and protect against any issues that could negatively affect your practice.
• Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) matters - We can help address any issues related to the handling of controlled substances, including DEA audits or investigations of healthcare providers and pharmacies. We can help you defend against accusations of drug diversion or drug trafficking that may lead to DEA enforcement actions, and we can provide representation in DEA administrative hearings that seek to suspend or revoke a DEA registration or deny a controlled substance registration application or renewal.
• Pharmacy accreditation - We work with pharmacies to ensure that they comply with standards and receive Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) accreditation or Verified-Accredited Wholesale Distributors (VAWD) accreditation.
• MPJE remediation - We assist with preparation for the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination, helping applicants meet the requirements to become a licensed pharmacist.
