The practice of medicine and health professions are highly-regulated and, in recent years, that regulation has increased at both the state and federal levels.  Licensed physicians and other health care providers face potential disciplinary actions from public and private agencies and other entities, including federal entitlement programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the quality assurance boards of managed care organizations and private payors.  In addition, state medical and other licensing boards maintain the power to terminate a physician’s or health care professional’s license to practice.  Studebaker Nault attorneys represent clients, including physicians and other health care providers, in disciplinary actions before public and private agencies and other entities.
