Licensing Defense for Healthcare Professionals Facing a LARA Investigation

Healthcare professionals — including physicians, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, and dentists — are regulated in Michigan by the Bureau of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). A LARA complaint can originate from a patient, a coworker, a government billing audit, or a criminal charge, and it typically begins when a state investigator contacts the licensee directly. In this video, Attorney Randall Levine explains why speaking with a LARA investigator without legal counsel can put a professional's license at serious risk, and how an early, strategic response — including working toward a consent order — can help avoid suspension or revocation of a license to practice.
