Frequently Asked Questions
Why Am I Being Investigated by the DEA?
The DEA may perform an investigation based on suspicions of drug diversion, including questionable prescribing practices or patterns of dispensing controlled substances to patients. DEA agents may review patient records, interview staff members, or examine a provider's inventory of controlled substances.
Should I Surrender My DEA Registration?
Voluntarily giving up your DEA registration can result in a variety of consequences, including discipline to your professional license or loss of provider status, hospital privileges, and board certification. You should consult with our attorneys before surrendering your controlled substance registration to the DEA.
What Are My Rights in a DEA Investigation?
In most cases, you must give informed consent to allow DEA agents to conduct an audit or investigation. However, you are required to comply with a search warrant or subpoena. Our attorneys can advise you of what information you should provide to DEA agents and how you should respond to questions or requests.
What Is a DEA Order to Show Cause?
When the DEA takes action against a provider's controlled substance registration, it will issue an Order to Show Cause. After receiving this order, a provider will have 30 days to request an administrative hearing or waive their right to a hearing while providing a written response.
Attorney Joseph "Jay" Bogdan
In-Depth Knowledge from Both Sides
Before going into private practice, Attorney Bogdan was a prosecutor at the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). While serving with the IDFPR, he became familiar with all of the ins and outs of the agency, its processes, how cases are typically investigated and prosecuted, and the common strategies used to prosecute a disciplinary action against a health care professional or entity.
Attorney Bogdan’s background and ability effectively prepares clients for the possibilities they may encounter during a disciplinary action. He assures his clients that they will receive the skilled representation they deserve. This is a major reason he often provides counsel for other area attorneys and law firms who are dealing with these types of cases.
Loss of Hospital Privileges + Provider Status
Disciplinary action to a medical provider's professional license may lead a hospital or medical facility to revoke their privileges. A person may also face the loss of their enrollment with Medicare/Medicaid or the revocation of their ability to provide services through private health insurance companies. These decisions can have multiple different types of negative effects on a person's ability to provide services to patients, and they can threaten a practice's business and make it impossible to continue operating.
In these cases, our lawyers can review a hospital's bylaws and help address the issues uncovered in audits by Medicare/Medicaid or private insurers. We will provide representation in hearings before hospital boards to defend against the loss of hospital privileges, and we will help you take legal action to protect your provider status and ensure that you can continue to bill insurers for the medical services you provide.
Read MoreDrug Enforcement Administration
Medical providers who prescribe or dispense controlled substances must maintain registration with the DEA. The DEA performs regular audits and inspections of these providers, and it may pursue enforcement actions in cases where drug diversion or drug trafficking are suspected. We can provide representation to help medical professionals defend against the suspension or revocation of their DEA registration, and we can help you understand the steps you should take if you have received an Order to Show Cause or have been asked to surrender your DEA registration.
