Bishop was initially licensed as an Audiologist by the Board on May 1, 2008 and her license expired on 1/30/16. On 7/6/17, the Board received an inquiry from the credentialing department of UnitedHealthcare asking if Bishop held a valid Oregon license.

Perkins, along with her attorney, appeared before the Board on May 8, 2015, and described her efforts in correcting problems with the website and her difficulty with her original IT person which made it difficult to timely comply with the Board's concerns. She has since removed all references to a Lake Oswego office on all of her electronic devices and website.

Perkins entered a Consent Order on July 19, 2015, and was issued a license that will expire December 31, 2015.
