Our Health Care Controversies Team provides clients with access to a team of experienced attorneys with the skills necessary to resolve complex disputes that arise in the health care industry.
Health care controversies represent the crossroads between adversarial proceedings, including litigation and administrative proceedings, and the highly regulated health care industry. A health care controversy can include major litigation involving health care providers, credentialing proceedings before licensing bodies, or disciplinary proceedings before the many state agencies with jurisdiction over providers. They include administrative and arbitration hearings and, if necessary, state or federal court appearances.
Regulators’ increasing focus on the use of recovery-driven adversarial proceedings to enforce developing standards of compliance and fraud waste and abuse detection makes this a growing area of concern for clients in the health care industry. Now more than ever, health providers are likely to find themselves affected by investigations or enforcement proceedings that carry the risk of substantial, and even exponential, civil or criminal liability.
Our team of attorneys has years of experience representing clients in government investigations and regulatory proceedings, including Medicare and Medicaid, and in the litigated or adversarial proceedings they can spawn. They have the required aggressive litigation skills and thorough knowledge of substantive health care laws.
