well ahead

Healthcare reform creates business opportunities and challenges for participants in the healthcare industry. We apply our extensive industry experience to help clients in taking advantage of those opportunities. We help healthcare industry clients successfully complete strategic transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, strategic alliances and affiliations, co-management agreements, imaging arrangements, clinical trial agreements, participating provider agreements, administrative and management services agreements, medical director and physician employment agreements, group purchasing agreements, distribution agreements, and renewal rights agreements.

Few industries – if any – are more heavily regulated than the healthcare industry. We help clients comply with the requirements of myriad federal and state regulatory agencies and resolve allegations of non-compliance. Our regulatory experience includes fraud and abuse counseling, Stark and Anti-Kickback statute analysis, False Claims Act investigations, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement and billing advice, federal HIPAA and state law privacy and security regulation, facility licensure and certificate of need (CON) issues, state medical and pharmacy practice act matters, corporate compliance program development, EMTALA compliance, drug and medical device approval and post-market regulatory matters, meaningful use audits and medical staff governance, credentialing and privileging matters.
