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 physician’s 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 physician’s reputation and ability to practice medicine and serve his or her patients. www.marcarianlaw.com
