Seven Things To Know When You Receive A Notice Of Investigation From The Department Of Health

About The Health Law Firm

The Health Law Firm’s attorneys represent physicians, nurses, mental health counselors, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers. Board-certified healthcare law attorneys and licensed health professionals created it. Beginning in 1999 in Orlando, Florida, it rapidly expanded to include offices in Pensacola, Denver, and New Orleans.

Our attorneys include those with Master of Laws degrees in health law and those board-certified in health law. They hold licenses in Florida, Colorado, Louisiana, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, and Virginia, and they also practice in other states.

We take pride in decades of experience representing physicians, nurses, psychotherapists, and others in many legal matters. These include professional license defense, nursing and professional board hearings, defense in complaint investigations, contracts, and litigation. Formal administrative hearings, state and federal, are our bread and butter.

We represent doctors, nurses, and therapists in many unique areas that other law firms ignore. These include:

Hospital Medical Staff Clinical Privileges Fair Hearings

Residency Program Disputes, Appeals, and Legal Proceedings

Military and VA Physician Peer Review and Investigations

USMLE Irregular Behavior Hearings

NPDB Adverse Report Challenges and Appeals

Medicare and Medicaid Audits and Subpoenas

Indian Health Service (IHS) physician medical staff hearings

These are just a few of the areas in which we routinely represent health professionals.

Most of our clients are in Florida, from Key West to Pensacola, Louisiana, and Colorado.

We also handle cases across the United States.
