If you've received notice of an administrative hearing, you may be wondering what's the difference between an "informal administrative hearing" and a "formal administrative hearing." If you are not guilty of the allegations the agency makes against you, you can only prove this through a formal administrative hearing, where you can challenge or contest the allegations levied against you.
Board Certified Health Law Attorney George Indest speaks about an informal hearing:
"In an informal hearing, you have no right to dispute the facts. You give up your right to dispute the charges against you. This is the equivalent of pleading guilty."
When in doubt, always select a formal administrative hearing. But most importantly, consult an experienced health law attorney or administrative law attorney before making your decision.
