Healthcare Providers

A cornerstone of the Firm’s practice areas includes representing healthcare providers dealing with issues related to hospital privileges, credentialing, internal investigations, and defending against complaints lodged with state licensing and medical boards. To that end, the Firm regularly advises physicians, surgeons, and other healthcare providers in connection with:

• Disciplinary hearings and investigations, including before state medical boards/commissions
• Hospital peer review, including pushing back against sham peer review
• Medical staff privileges and credentialing issues, including issues involving reporting to the National Provider Data Bank (NPDB) and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The Firm also represents providers in disputes and proceedings before professional licensing boards, including the Oregon Medical Board and Washington Medical Commission
