HEALTH CARE LICENSING, DISCIPLINE & REINSTATEMENT
For decades, health professionals across the state of Michigan have trusted James W. Burdick to save their licenses or have them reinstated.
Jim Burdick was a member of the Michigan Board of Medicine for nearly a decade and has a hard-earned and deep understanding the health care system inside and out. Since leaving the Board of Medicine, he has carefully and skillfully created individualized programs for personal rehabilitation and redemption, leading to successful petitions for reinstatement for a wide range of health professionals.
EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, AN UNMATCHED TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS
By law, medical, dental, pharmaceutical and other health professional boards are required to investigate every public or private allegation made against a health professional. Apart from “standard of care” investigations, one of the most common subjects of investigation for medical doctors and other health care providers is substance abuse. Jim Burdick has successfully represented health professionals who have developed substance abuse problems or suffered criminal convictions — or both.
RESOLVING HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS’ SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES
In Michigan, the Health Professional Recovery Program (HPRP) exists to assist professionals who require substance abuse treatment. Unfortunately, sometimes those who don’t even need such supervision get stuck with monitoring contracts of two to three years. Jim Burdick can help you right those wrongs.
Explaining to the appropriate board any and all details of your exemplary past, as well as how you propose to fix any problems, will provide more relief toward coming to a resolution. Ultimately, the goal is to avoid a complaint altogether or minimize the penalties, and at the very least to get your license reinstated if suspension occurs.

WE DEEPLY UNDERSTAND THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM INSIDE AND OUT
Mr. Burdick has achieved nearly 99% percent success in obtaining license reinstatements, even when clients have had multiple disciplines or multiple criminal convictions. He has also successfully represented numerous clients in Blue Cross de-participation and re-participation actions, as well as in United States Department of Health and Human Services (Medicare-Medicaid) exclusion and reinstatement litigation.
Another very common area includes complaints that the professional has been engaged in health care fraud — overprescribing, overbillings or overutilization of Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross and other private insurance companies. Jim Burdick knows the difference between a simple billing error and health care fraud. That’s why Michigan and Detroit-area health care professionals (and their civil lawyers) often seek him out in matters related to health care licensing and insurance company audits and allegations from Blue Cross and other insurance companies.

Whatever you do, do not let your divorce lawyer, your business lawyer or the lawyer who handled the closing on your house tell you he or she can “learn on the job” when your license, your livelihood and you and your family’s futures are at stake.
