Examples of Extraordinary Service by MedLicense.com 

A little understood fact concerning the Medical Licensing Process concerns the fact that the longer a physician has been practicing medicine, the more difficult it becomes to license that Physician with any particular Medical Board. A physician just out of Residency Training will be able to apply for and receive a medical license before a Physician who is Board Certified in a Specialty and Sub-Specialty with 30 years under his/her belt. Why? The longer a Physician has been in practice, the greater potential for negative issues to accumulate and the more information to have verified. Because of this, Older Physicians can encounter issues during the Medical Licensing Process which will slow or stop the process in its' tracks. Below you will find a few examples of how MedLicense.com over came such issues for our clients at no additional fee to the client.

Example 1 - Closed Malpractice Companies

Our client was applying to 10 State Medical Boards. She was a Nationally Recognized Pre-eminent Emergency Room Physician. She had been on 2 expeditions to the Antarctica and 1 to the Artic Circle. All of her licenses went through quickly with the exception of Massachusetts. Massachusetts requires that all physicians have verified the last 10 years of Malpractice History directly from the Malpractice Carriers. Unfortunately for her, 1 of her carriers had gone into Bankruptcy and no one had the records. After our initial efforts to locate the Carriers came up empty, we then contacted the insurance agencies which had sold the policy to her. They could not complete the verification for her because they didn't have the claim history records. Because she never had a malpractice claim, there were no attorney to contact so we then contacted every locum tenen hospital which she had served with over the past 10 years. Over 42 Hospitals. None were able or willing to complete the letter for Massachusetts concerning her claim history while under the coverage of the Bankrupt Malpractice Company. (24 months had since passed and the application had to be re-submitted 3 times to Massachusetts. All verifications had to be re-requested 3 times during this process because Massachusetts expires all verifications after 6 months.).  We had the Physician write affidavit after affidavit to the Massachusetts Board explaining the situation. Massachusetts would not budge. Massachusetts ignored her situation. She was then invited to speak before the Massachusetts Medical Society. She was more than qualified to address the best Physicians of Massachusetts, but because of circumstances beyond her control she was being held up for licensure by Massachusetts.  After hours and hours of searching, we finally found the contact number to the individual who was destroying the records for the Malpractice Company buried deep within the Bankruptcy Filing which we had obtained from searching open records on the  court house' website. We contacted the individual, who was in Texas. He told us that he was about a month away from the completion of the records destruction. Since the Physician's name began with a Z, her policy information was going to be destroyed some time within the following 3 to 4 weeks. We sent him the request along with the required fee. He forwarded the letter to Massachusetts. Massachusetts then informed us that our client was complete. We called back 2 weeks later to see if she had been issued and the analyst told us that she decided to expire all of the verifications which were approaching 6 months in age. We Fedex'd out the verifications again to the third parties. They forwarded them to the Massachusetts Medical Board for a fifth time within a 10 day cycle. The Massachusetts Medical Board was then forced to present the Physicians file for approval and she was thus approved and licensed.  MedLicense.com burned over 120 hours of labor on this doctor's file. Our total charge to her?  $495.00. We lost money but we honored our commitment.

Example 2 - Training Hospital Taken Over by a Foreign Country

Our client was applying to the State of Washington. He was a USA Graduate. His Internship was completed at the Army Corps of Engineers Hospital at the Panama Canal Zone in Panama. The Facility was a under the control of the US Government. Unfortunately, President Jimmy Carter signed a treaty with Panama which gave the Drug Pushing Dictator of Panama, control of the Panama Canal and all facilities. Once Panama assumed control of the Canal Zone, they also assumed control of our client's training hospital. The Army Corps of Engineers did not remove the records from the facility. Initially we contacted the Corps of Engineers to have the Internship Verified. We continually hit brick walls in our attempts to find the proper office. Finally we found the correct department. The staff member informed us that all records were either lost or abandoned in Panama. We then contacted the Records Office of the US Military in St. Louis, Missouri. Another dead end. We contacted the Hospital in the Panama Canal Zone. The Hospital refused to assist us. First they began to extort money from us (i.e. the Physician). After a $50.00 money order was sent to  the hospital per their instructions, they demanded that we send additional funds because they had "miscalculated" the fee. It became apparent that the new administrators of the hospital were just milking the Physician. At this dead end we contacted the Washington Medical Board. Fortunately for the Physician, the Washington Medical Board gave him another option. He could provide a copy of his Internship Certificate which had been notarized and they would accept this in lieu of the verification. We informed the Physician and he told us that he didn't have a copy of it. It had been lost in a fire years before. He was now in a state of desperation. He had sold his house and turned his notice into his employer. He was moving to Washington State within the next 30 days. The Physician had held 3 other licenses since 1978. We contacted each medical board where he had held a license. We requested that each send us a copy of his Internship Certificate which had been filed with his application for licensure 25 years prior. We sent the written request via Fedex to each Board. Illinois refused to go through their records to pull it. New York told us it would take 7 to 12 weeks. Indiana sent it within 3 weeks. We presented the copy of the application from Indiana with the Certificate. The Washington Board accepted it because it had been stamped by the Indiana Medical Board. He received his license 3 weeks after he had moved to Washington.
