Our health care practice addresses the entire compass of issues confronting providers as they prepare for sweeping change in the financing and organization of care. Clients include owners and managers of acute care, psychiatric and rehabilitation hospitals and nursing homes, medical equipment suppliers, managed care companies and medical groups.
Antitrust litigation is an important focus.
In various cases, we have defended and brought antitrust claims against hospitals and other providers and defended in government actions and investigations. We also represent providers in investigations involving Medicare and Medicaid fraud, kickbacks, false claims and patient abuse. On the corporate and transactional side, we represent clients in mergers and acquisitions, financing, private placements, real estate and equipment leases and employment and medical staff matters. We have the expertise to provide a full range of services relating to the security and privacy provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. We can provide a flexible compliance program that includes assessment, counseling, and implementation components.
