Our team is dedicated to representing skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, home health agencies, hospices, and other long-term care providers.
We offer extensive experience in advising on state and federal regulatory compliance, helping clients obtain necessary licenses and certifications, and guiding them through overpayment disputes, fraud and abuse investigations, provider suspensions, and contract terminations. Our expertise includes:
- Developing compliance policies and risk assessment procedures
- Managing disciplinary matters before state licensing boards
- Handling Medicare and Medicaid hearings and appeals
- Ensuring compliance with the False Claims Act, HIPAA, HITECH, and other privacy laws
- Responding to government investigations and challenging adverse surveys
Our lawyers have successfully defended long-term care facilities against claims of elder abuse, wrongful death and medical malpractice. We understand the high stakes involved and employ aggressive defense strategies to protect our clients’ reputations and operations.
We advise on mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganizations, and joint ventures, ensuring that long-term care providers can adapt to the changing healthcare landscape. Our team assists in stock and asset purchases, distressed entity acquisitions, and negotiations with government agencies, always with an eye on regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.
