Healthcare

Helping providers cope with complex transactions, ever-changing regulations

In a heavily regulated and rapidly changing industry, healthcare providers need knowledgeable, experienced legal counsel to guide them through the maze of government regulations. In addition, healthcare consumers and providers often need an experienced advocate to deal with HMOs, insurance companies, and other payers on such issues as coverage and reimbursement.

Our healthcare practice encompasses all aspects of transactional, regulatory, legislative, litigation and counseling areas of health law. We understand the healthcare industry and the regulatory bodies that govern it. Our healthcare team includes attorneys that have worked within managed care companies and hospitals. They possess a working knowledge of the interactions between the business and the laws regulating the business.

We assist providers - including hospitals, physicians, physician groups, treatment centers and managed care organizations of every type - in meeting their strategic goals. Our attorneys provide guidance on complex transactions including corporate structure and reorganization, mergers and acquisitions, financing and joint ventures. We help clients deal with government regulations such as federal and state fraud and abuse laws, anti-kickback laws, self-referral laws and professional practice laws.

Farrell Fritz has defended healthcare professionals in numerous administrative and judicial settings, including the imposition of civil monetary penalties, threatened exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, termination from insurance plans, and allegations of false claims or misconduct.

Our healthcare clients benefit from the wide range of experience throughout the firm. In connection with a particular transaction, our attorneys may consult with their colleagues who have experience in corporate, land use, tax, real estate, litigation and employment law to ensure thorough consideration of all relevant issues.
