We often hear from licensed health professionals who call and retain us to represent them in complaints against their professional licenses in investigations and formal licensure complaints. Often these professionals retain us after adverse disciplinary action has already been taken. In many cases they had good insurance coverage with CPH & Associates (CPH&A) Insurance, or another professional liability insurance company but could not find an attorney that would accept it.
They retain us to appeal or attempt to reverse an adverse disciplinary action taken against their license, including suspensions and revocations. Matters which may arise include letters from the Department of Health (DOH) advising them that they are being investigated, administrative complaints, a pending administrative hearing emergency restriction orders (EROs), and emergency suspension orders (ESOs).
Finding legal counsel that accepts your insurance should not be a difficult task. Our firm and its attorneys have accepted CPH&A Insurance, and many others, for years.
Our firm has attorneys that are licensed in and can defend licensed health professionals in Florida, Colorado, Louisiana, Virginia and the District of Columbia. Additionally, there are many states, such as Tennessee, Georgia, Oregon, Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, and others, which allow us to appear before their professional licensing boards and authorities and represent clients in these state under their “multi-jurisdictional practice” rules, because this is an area in which we routinely practice.
Legal areas in which we can represent an CPH&A insured that CPH&A will pay for include: investigations commenced against a massage therapist’s license, administrative hearings, complaints against a professional license, emergency restriction orders, emergency suspension orders, administrative complaints, appeals from adverse disciplinary actions, a deposition for which you may be subpoenaed, and many others.
