Stefan Cange advises healthcare providers, government entities, and their business partners on regulatory, operational, and transactional matters that shape how healthcare organizations are built and run. He brings both an operator’s and a regulator’s perspective to clients and has extensive experience advising private equity-backed healthcare organizations. Before entering private practice, Stefan spent over eight years in progressively senior in-house roles at one of the nation’s largest providers of correctional healthcare, along with earlier service as a state healthcare regulator, giving him a practical understanding of his clients’ business from both sides of the table. His work spans healthcare contracting, multi-state licensing and regulatory compliance, advising clients on the design and implementation of complex clinical programs, and helping clients navigate corporate practice of medicine requirements and management services organization (MSO) structures.

Stefan’s practice concentrates on assisting healthcare providers and organizations that face complex regulatory and operational challenges in multiple jurisdictions. As former counsel to the Tennessee Boards of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Optometry, he has significant expertise in healthcare professional and facility licensing, particularly with matters involving pharmacies and controlled substances. His work also includes assisting clients with matters related to the corporate practice of health professions, as well as the structure and operation of management services organizations. Stefan has also helped clients design, implement, and license medication assisted treatment programs in both correctional and community settings across the United States, and assisted clients with the design and implementation of 1115 waiver programs for justice-involved persons.

A significant part of Stefan’s practice involves healthcare contracting. He has negotiated and drafted high-value contracts with state and local correctional systems, as well as juvenile detention and probation agencies. With his extensive government procurement experience, Stefan advises organizations pursuing state, local, or federal government healthcare services business. He is equally experienced on the vendor side, having handled a number of 340B program agreements, telehealth services contracts, physician group and health system contracts, and a range of commercial agreements that support healthcare operations. Having spent years inside a private equity-backed healthcare organization, he understands how these deals fit into broader growth and investment strategies.

Clients value Stefan as a business partner who understands that legal advice must work in the real world. With experience as both in-house counsel and a government regulator, he appreciates the operational and budgetary pressures that healthcare organizations and government agencies face and delivers advice that is concise, practical, and aligned with their goals.
