Consult an Experienced Peer Review Attorney When Your Privileges Are First Being Challenged Through Your Hospital’s Peer Review Process

A peer review attorney is a lawyer is one who has attained proficiency and experience in representing healthcare professionals in the peer review process. Kenneth Haber has such experience and uses a hospital’s medical staff Bylaws, our civil rights laws and any other legal mechanism to effectively represent his clients. 

It is as critical for a physician not to attempt to resolve his own credentialing status as for a patient not to attempt to diagnosis and treat his own symptoms. A peer review attorney stands on the wall and protects the healthcare provider from those who would challenge his privileges. These challenges can arise due to economic and discriminatory reasons as well as personal animus. It does not take much to put a healthcare provider into the National Practitioners Data Bank due to an adverse peer review finding. It is often the routine consequence of an adverse peer review determination. Unfortunately, such a adverse data banking often can destroy a healthcare provider’s career or, at a minimum, greatly impede the provider’s career. Neither peer review matters nor any credentialing [or licensing] matter should be taken lightly. It is easier to correct a situation before it matures instead of waiting until after it has fully blossomed. Mr. Haber has favorably resolved many CMS matters, for his clients, as a CMS Lawyer as well as OIG matters, for his clients, as an OIG Attorney.         

It is important to retain an experienced peer review attorney when seeking to protect your hospital privileges or any other credentialing matter; i.e., CMS matters, OIG matters, 3^rd party payer participation, licensing matters; NPDB; etc. Mr. Haber has been licensed since 1970.
