Providing Strategic Legal Advice for Complex Medical Licensing Issues

There are dozens of reasons an IDFPR licensee can be disciplined.  So no matter what you’re up against, our team has more than likely seen a case like yours. 

Some common complaints we defend against include: 

  • Substance abuse (DUI, etc.) 
  • Standard of care complaints (overprescribing, misdiagnoses, etc.)
  • Unprofessional conduct
  • Violation of confidentiality
  • Sexual misconduct
  • Practicing without a current Illinois license
  • Allowing assistants to perform medical procedures
  • Criminal actions unrelated to the profession

The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) doesn’t take licensing issues lightly, and neither do we. 

At 1818, we’ll help you understand the process and work to minimize disciplinary actions that IDFPR may take. Contact us for your free consultation now.

IDFPR Disciplinary Process: What to Expect

If you’re a healthcare professional being accused of misconduct, here’s what you can generally expect from the process:

  1. Investigation—an IDFPR investigator will reach out to you. We recommend talking to an attorney before discussing any matters with IDFPR. Investigations normally come from information provided by a consumer, employer, or competitor. 
  2. Notice of complaint—the formal process is initiated by a formal complaint filed by the State that usually is the result of information provided by a consumer, employer, or competitor. 
  3. Informal Conference—an informal conference with IDFPR can result in settlement of the matter or can set the tone for more serious IDFPR ramifications for your license.
  4. Settlement—working with IDFPR to reach a settlement agreement that avoids suspension or revocation of the license.
  5. Formal hearing—if a settlement isn’t reached, discovery will begin and will proceed to a hearing with a Hearing Officer or Administrative Law Judge.
  6. Appeal—if you disagree with the final order, you can appeal to the Circuit Court.

No matter what stage you’re in, our attorneys can represent you to get a judgment in your favor. Contact us for your free consultation now.

FAQ: Illinois Health Care License Defense 

What happens when my license application is denied in Illinois? 

If you have applied for an Illinois license and are denied by the IDFPR, they will send you a Notice of Intent to Deny. You will have a short time to contest the denial. If you decide to contest, an informal conference or evidentiary hearing will be held to get your license back on track. 

Your attorney can help you throughout the process and ensure you get the best possible outcome in your case.

What are my options when facing suspension, probation, or a professional license revocation in Illinois? 

When facing disciplinary action against your professional license, it’s in your best interest to hire an IDFPR lawyer with experience defending medical licenses. An attorney can thoroughly review your case, walk you through your options, and prepare a defense strategy to protect you.

IDFPR contacted me about a pending investigation. What should I do?
