Industries & Practices
Health Care Regulatory
Our attorneys constantly monitor statutes, regulations and rules set by governing bodies.
From insurance reimbursement to the administration of medications to referrals, we work closely with administrators to ensure their facilities and their staffs avoid noncompliance. We not only inform our clients of any changes, but we also help them understand the effects those changes might have on current operations. We also help our clients predict and prepare for the enactment of any major health care laws, minimizing the cost and impact of regulatory shifts.
Our substantial regulatory experience includes representing our clients’ interests before a variety of legislative, regulatory and administrative bodies.
We routinely advise clients on:
- Privacy Issues, including HIPAA and Part 2
- Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act
- 340B Drug Pricing Program
- Corporate governance
- Clinical research
- Provider Enrollment and Change of Ownership
- Survey, certification and licensure
- Tax and tax exemption issues
- Acquisition and disposition of health care entities
- Publicly owned hospitals and health systems
