Keeping You in Compliance and Assisting in Disputes

Regulatory compliance is easier said than done, but it’s so important to your bottom line. Too many healthcare providers inadvertently fall into the trap of noncompliance, usually because they didn’t have comprehensive advice beforehand.

It is critical that you and your organization be able to stay abreast of the fast-changing laws and regulations in your industry. Likewise, you must stay vigilant in anticipating potential gaps in compliance and addressing them before a violation or liability arises.

The Rogers Towers Healthcare Practice Group is able not only to keep you in compliance but also to provide aggressive representation for clients who are targeted for alleged noncompliance.

In fact, we have substantial experience representing clients in a full range of federal and state regulatory issues including:

  • Fraud and abuse (including Qui Tam and government investigations and enforcement actions)
  • Professional licensure applications and defense
  • Medical staff privileges (including peer review and credentialing)
  • Comprehensive advice regarding state and regulatory compliance
  • Coverage, overpayment, and reimbursement issues under Medicare and Medicaid
  • Personal injury and medical malpractice litigation
  • General business disputes
  • Administrative and other litigation matters
  • Employment and immigration matters
  • Shareholder agreements, noncompetition agreements, and other restrictive covenants
