United States Medical Board Certification Defense Attorney

Lawyers Representing Providers Before National and International Medical Specialty Boards

Providers such as doctors, nurses, and pharmacies are required to maintain valid medical licenses, and they may also need to address other issues in order to practice medicine, such as hospital privileges or enrollment with Medicare or Medicaid. In addition to these requirements, many providers will also receive board certification in their areas of specialty. This certification demonstrates that a provider has a high level of knowledge and skill and meets exemplary standards when providing care to patients. The loss of board certification can be a major blow to a medical professional's reputation, and it can affect their ability to find employment. Providers who are facing the revocation or termination of their board certification will want to work with an attorney who is experienced in addressing these matters before the national and international associations that recognize these medical specialties.

At The Law Offices of Joseph J. Bogdan, Inc., our lawyers can provide the legal help you need to defend your board certification and address other issues that could affect your ability to practice medicine. We provide complete representation for licensed medical professionals, including assisting with disciplinary action to medical licenses, loss of provider status with insurers, and DEA enforcement actions in matters involving controlled substances. With our help, you can protect your reputation and continue providing medical services to patients.

Reasons for Loss of Board Certification

In many cases, a medical specialty board will take action to revoke or terminate a certification because of other types of disciplinary action against a medical professional. Loss of board certification may occur because a state licensing board, such as the Illinois Medical Board or the Illinois Board of Pharmacy, has suspended or revoked a person's medical license or because of the suspension or revocation of DEA registration. A specialty board may also terminate or revoke a certification because of unprofessional or unethical conduct or criminal convictions in state or federal courts.

We will work with you to respond to requests for information from specialty boards, and we can provide you with representation in meetings or hearings with board committees.
