Our health care lawyers have closed M&A, joint venture, licensing, and other transactions in virtually every segment of the health care market and across the country. Our hallmark has been to find solutions for our clients that facilitate their business and clinical objectives without engendering legal and regulatory exposure.
We recently served as lead counsel on a major health system's acquisition of a 350-bed hospital, and the largest independent multispecialty physician practice in the Upper Midwest region, to form a new nonprofit integrated provider. Our attorneys also have been at the forefront of provider-payer integration, including advising, from its inception, a startup provider of on-demand primary and urgent care services focused on underserved populations that was acquired by a large regional payer.
Our transactional and regulatory clients span the range of health industry participants, from multisite integrated systems, to medical schools and their faculty practices, physician and dental practices (including one of the nation's largest doctor-owned practices), surgery centers, hospice and home care providers, health plans, and financial investors in health care enterprises, including several prominent health care private equity funds.
We advise on issues related to federal and state health care laws and regulations, including the CARES Act, Paycheck Protection Program, Affordable Care Act, Medicare and Medicaid false claims, Stark and anti-kickback prohibitions, HIPAA/HITECH, antitrust, value-based purchasing, and a variety of other reform initiatives.
We have assisted clients in matters relating to Medicare conditions of participation, graduate medical education reimbursement, Medicaid requirements, and licensure status and accreditation issues. Our work includes developing, updating, and assessing compliance programs and counseling compliance officers on marketing and sales practices, audits, and internal investigations. We also help clients tap into government stimulus programs, and guide them through the web of compliance obligations and benefits issues.
