Know Your Rights  As A Licensed Chiropractor

Chiropractors may face a variety of problems, including disciplinary actions, credential concerns, licensing difficulties, and even malpractice claims and lawsuits. If you are being investigated by the Arizona State Board Of Pharmacy and receive a letter informing you that you are under investigation, take it seriously. Here is some information to consider if you’re facing a licensing problem:

• You are not required to talk about your case with the investigator, and you should never do so. Before any statements are made to an investigator, you should always contact a pharmacist license defense attorney in Phoenix;
• After the investigation has been completed, you have the right to request and obtain a copy of the report. You also have the option of submitting a rebuttal to this document.

Other than that, there are a few more things to keep in mind if you have a formal allegation made against your chiropractic license:

• Do not consent to give up your license before an investigation has been completed unless you obtain legal advice. Giving up your chiropractic license may be treated the same as a disciplinary revocation, with potentially severe repercussions;
• If the Arizona State Board Of Pharmacy takes action against you, such as a voluntary surrender of your license, this will be reported to your country’s certification board and most likely result in a loss of your national accreditation;
• If you are licensed in other states and have licenses in other health professions, your voluntary license surrender will be reported to those other states, and investigations and possible disciplinary action may begin in those states.
• The National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) and the Office of Inspector General will be informed about the voluntary surrender of your chiropractor license. You may be prohibited from working for any government contractor or in health care in any form if the OIG initiates action to exclude you from the Medicare Program.
