Our Approach
Our team counsels health care clients nationwide regarding the application of health care fraud and abuse laws, including the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, and the False Claims Act. We also cover analogous state laws and regulations that affect business arrangements and relationships in the health care industry. We routinely conduct full-scale and limited scope compliance audits. And we advise clients on compliance in high-risk areas, including billing, sales, and marketing.
When compliance concerns arise, we're there to help. We assist clients by conducting internal investigations, implementing corrective action, and advising on the risks and benefits of self-disclosure. If necessary, we shepherd clients through disclosures to appropriate state and federal government agencies.
