Health Care Law Lawyers and Attorneys

Health care attorneys advise providers, practices and facilities: licensing and certificate of need, Medicare and Medicaid participation and reimbursement, fraud and abuse rules including Stark and anti-kickback, HIPAA and data breach response, medical staff and credentialing disputes, practice transactions, and payer contracting.

They also represent professionals before licensing boards and in audits. The area is dense with regulation where technical non-compliance can carry serious consequences, so most of the value is preventive.

Before you hire

• Bring compensation arrangements and referral relationships for review before they start, not after an audit letter arrives.
• If a payer audit or board complaint has landed, treat the first response as the most important document in the matter.
• Ask whether the attorney handles the regulatory side, the transactional side or litigation — and who covers the parts they do not.

Medical malpractice, white collar defence and business law cover adjacent problems.
