Regulatory Matters

We advise health care clients on the full range of federal and state regulatory matters, including anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, physician self-referral (Stark law), data privacy and security (HIPAA, HITECH), licensing, compliance, conflicts of interest, products liability, professional credentialing, certificate of need and research protocols.

With respect to health care reform legislation, we help hospitals, health systems, medical groups, senior care and assisted-living facilities, medical device manufacturers, pharmacies, home health agencies, hospices and other clients understand the impact and requirements of this new legal framework. We have developed implementation timelines and other tools to help employers better understand their responsibilities regarding their employees, identify potential opportunities, and minimize compliance risks associated with specific elements of the new legislation.
