Licensing & Credentialing
Before you can open your doors, expand your services, or bring on a new operator, you need the right licenses and approvals in place.
In New York, health care licensing and credentialing often involves multiple state agencies, complex application requirements, and ongoing compliance obligations. Missteps can lead to delays, denials, or regulatory scrutiny.
We help health care providers, facilities, and individual professionals obtain, maintain and defend their licenses and certifications, navigate state agency review processes, and respond when licensing issues arise. Whether you are starting a new practice, adding a program, transferring a license, or responding to a compliance concern raised by a licensing authority, we can help move the process forward.
Our licensing and credentialing services include:
Preparing and submitting applications for new health care facilities, programs, and service lines, and guiding clients through agency review processes.
Managing licensing and regulatory approvals associated with ownership changes, affiliations, and operational restructurings.
Assisting with renewals, amendments, and updates to existing licenses and certifications to support operational changes or expansion.
Advising on CON requirements and preparing applications where needed for facility development or service expansion.
Assisting providers in responding to citations and deficiencies issued by licensing authorities, including development and implementation of corrective action plans.
Representing physicians and other licensed professionals in matters before the New York State Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC), including investigations, inquiries, and disciplinary proceedings. We advise professionals from the earliest stages of an OPMC matter and help them navigate the process with an eye toward protecting their licenses, practices, and reputations.
