Kansas City Healthcare Licensure Defense Lawyers Here to Help at Every Stage

JHC’s Kansas City healthcare licensure defense lawyers assist healthcare professionals at every stage in their professional careers. We will weigh your risks and benefits at each stage of the process so that you can make the best and most informed possible decision. We deliver smart and strategic advice regarding all legal options for your specific licensure matter.

Applying for a License

We help healthcare professionals applying for licensure—before and after the application has been submitted. If your application for licensure is already under review, our professional license attorneys can advise you on your options going forward in the process. Notably, a denial of your application can have adverse consequences on licenses held in other states. Because regulatory boards have their own attorneys representing the interests of the board, you should have your own licensure defense attorney to level the playing field.

Disciplinary Proceedings

If a complaint against your license is being investigated, contact JHC’s Kansas City healthcare licensure defense lawyers to represent your interests from the very beginning of the investigation. The right legal counsel and guidance can be critical to averting and/or mitigating disciplinary action involving your license. Merely having allegations against your license can have adverse collateral impact on your hospital privileges, licenses in other states, third-party payer agreements, and professional association memberships. Our Kansas City license lawyers offer focused and effective legal strategies designed to minimize the collateral impact an allegation and investigation can have on your career.

Provider Referral and Evaluation

Sometimes, healthcare providers are faced with very serious allegations that question their fitness to practice. Allegations may relate to substance abuse, aging, or other physical conditions. Our Kansas City healthcare licensure defense lawyers know how to address these types of allegations and will ably guide you through the referral and evaluation process, including the applicable provider assistance program.

Peer Review Proceedings

Adverse peer review findings can have dire consequences, such as sanctions by the medical facility or licensing board and reporting to the National Practitioner Databank and other national databanks. If you find yourself faced with responding to a hospital complaint or incident report, obtaining counsel at this early stage is advantageous. If you find yourself facing formal peer review proceedings, our Kansas City peer review lawyers will be on your side to navigate you through the process. We regularly represent healthcare professionals faced with peer review proceedings. With years of experience in the healthcare arena, our Kansas City peer review attorneys can help you through and beyond even the most daunting peer review proceedings.

Medical Staff Privileges

Applying for medical staff privileges can be a challenge. With the right team in your corner, it doesn’t have to be. Our Kansas City healthcare attorneys can assist by making sure your history and experience is conveyed completely and reflected in the best light. Our Kansas City healthcare defense team also helps healthcare professionals facing discipline against their medical staff privileges. Medical staff privileges may be disciplined for a number of reasons, including substance abuse, substandard quality of care, or even disruption in the workplace. When medical staff privileges are disciplined, it is reportable to the National Practitioner Databank (NPDB). JHC’s licensure defense attorneys guide healthcare professionals through the hearing process and the formal appeals process. We also advise providers regarding litigation options.
