Wisconsin Medical License Renewal And DSPS License Complaint Defense
A physician cannot practice in the state of Wisconsin without a medical license from the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board. Allegations of professional misconduct that trigger a board investigation can pose both immediate and long-term threats to a doctor’s ability to practice medicine, make a living, care for their family, and live the life that many years of difficult studying and training deserves.
Unfortunately, people make mistakes and misunderstandings happen. When questions about a physician’s ability to safely and competently practice medicine arise, having professional, aggressive legal counsel is essential. A knowledgeable Wisconsin professional license defense attorney can help a physician go through the process of getting their license back and can also work to prevent license suspension and revocation in the first place. At GRGB, we work hard not only to protect your license, but your reputation as well.
Common Reasons for Medical License Sanction
Helping patients live healthy lives is an incredibly rewarding job, but it is not one without its risks. People can make accusations against physicians at any time, including people who are not patients. Once a credible, actionable accusation is made, the Wisconsin Medical Examining Board is obligated to investigate. This can feel very intimidating. Common reasons for board investigations include:
-
Criminal behavior, such as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
-
Overprescribing or self-prescribing medication
-
Financial fraud
-
HIPAA violations
Getting a Revoked or Suspended Medical License Reinstated
A revoked or suspended license is a serious issue, and the medical board knows this. GRGB can assist before this happens and relieve you of the stress of dealing with the situation so that you can focus on practicing medicine. Most license revocations only come after an extensive investigation and documentation of the allegations against a physician. If a physician is eligible to get their license reinstated, therefore, the revocation itself will usually contain terms that specify whether and how a physician can pursue reinstatement. Contact GRGB before your license is suspended!
Do I Need an Attorney to Renew My License Or To Get My Medical License Back?
Even if the terms of reinstatement seem relatively straightforward, such as a minimum waiting period and a certain amount of education or rehabilitation, you should still have an attorney with you to help make your case. You will almost certainly have to make a statement to the licensing board about why they should reinstate your license. You will need to explain what you have done in the meantime to justify their renewed trust in you. Having an attorney to help you negotiate in your favor can make the difference between a reinstated license and having to give up and pursue another career.
Sometimes, a physician may be able to get a suspended license reinstated while a case is ongoing. If your license has already been suspended, do not lose hope. With the help of an attorney, you may be able to continue practicing while the investigation against you is still unfolding.
