Introduction
There are many ways a physician can suffer the
humiliation, pain, and frustration of having his
or her medical license revoked, often before a
very unsympathetic and heartless Medical Board of
California. Over many years of experience, we
have found that certain patterns of conduct often
result in revocation and want to provide our
clients and potential clients with the following
list of the top 4 ways to have your California
medical license revoked and how a California
medical board license attorney can help you keep
your license and career.

Malpractice or Negligence
Medical malpractice or other instances of patient
harm due to the actions or inaction of a
physician. Even if you feel that you have done
your due diligence in the care of a patient,
complaints and accusations from a valid or
perceived mistreatment on the side of a patient
can lead to formal investigations and license
revocation.

Insurance Fraud
Involvement in a conviction for, or aiding and
abetting in the commission of insurance fraud,
whether at the federal, state, or private
insurance levels. Many times, physicians find
themselves involved in very serious Medicare,
Medical, or other insurance fraud matters, and a
conviction or even investigation for such
activities can often result in revocation if the
matter is not handled aggressively and
proactively by experienced counsel.

Criminal Conviction
This is somewhat self-explanatory, but depending
on the circumstances of the criminal complaint
against the licensee, the Board may or may not
seek revocation, and depending on the severity of
the allegations, may often seek a "Cease Practice
Order" which attempts to immediately suspend the
physicians license pending a resolution of the
accusation, which is filed soon thereafter. These
matters must be handled in a very expeditious
manner, as every day of delay results in a longer
period of license suspension, not to mention the
potential erosion of the physicians reputation
and ability to practice medicine and serve his or
her patients.

Prescription Negligence
The California Medical Board has for the last
several years embarked on somewhat of a witch
hunt, also known as "death certificate cases"
which is a retroactive effort by the Board to
investigate physicians who prescribed
medications, often times with no intention to do
any harm, to patients who have passed away under
circumstances reported by the coroner as
concerning or suspicious. These cases often
result in unfair and aggressive disciplinary
action against the prescribing doctor, even if he
or she did not improperly prescribe pain or other
addictive medications, which may or may not have
contributed to the death of the patient at issue
