The professional rights practice is administrative in nature with the goal being to maintain the client's unrestricted license to practice medicine in his or her applicable state and maintain certification to continue to participate in the various third party payors and governmental payor programs. The vast majority of state board of medical examiners allow for an informal discussion and/or negotiating period prior to the filing of an actual administrative complaint.

In this process it is crucial to work with each board's investigative officer which typically serves in prosecutorial capacity manner. Oftentimes it is in the physician/client's best interest to amicably resolve this matter via settlement with the investigative officer prior to the conducting of an administrative hearing before the panel of board of medical examiners. With regard to decertification and/or exclusion proceedings by governmental or commercial third party payors, these proceedings are typically controlled by the applicable individual policies of the commercial payor or the applicable Medicare and/or Medicaid regulations found in CFR Title 42.
