Healthcare

We have extensive experience defending providers facing disciplinary actions from facilities, third-party payers, and licensing boards. We work closely with healthcare providers to create and implement compliance programs to minimize risk and negotiate agreements with healthcare providers, ancillary service providers, and custom configure patient agreements for innovative practices such as concierge or Direct Primary Care. Our goal is to uncomplicate the law so our healthcare clients can focus on their patients and grow their practice. Our healthcare attorneys regularly provide guidance on state and federal laws and regulations. We continue to stay up to date within the ever-evolving healthcare industry to counsel clients on opportunities to simplify their practice, such as Direct Primary Care structures that provide patients with a specific set of services for a monthly subscription fee without involving insurance companies. We have the experience and resources necessary to help protect, optimize, and strengthen your practice to flourish.
