Healthcare
Montgomery McCracken’s Healthcare Industry Group brings clients the specialized knowledge and experience of attorneys with a wide range of expertise for challenges that health care providers face on a daily basis. What distinguishes our lawyers is the breadth of their industry experience, such as a former general counsel of a hospital, assistant US attorneys, and a social work liaison, putting them in a better position to give sound, relevant counsel.
capabilities include:
- Transactions between nonprofit and for-profit corporations, including joint ventures and mergers and acquisitions
- Provider networks and corporate restructuring
- Reimbursement (Medicare/Medicaid, Blue Cross/ Blue Shield and private managed care arrangements)
- Medicare/ Medicaid Fraud and Abuse statutes (including the Anti-kickbacks Law, Stark I and II and the False Claims Act)
- Healthcare licensing, accrediting and other regulatory matters for all kinds of healthcare providers
- Hospital-medical staff relationships, including the Healthcare Quality Improvement Act
- Representation of healthcare providers before the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General
- Litigation involving staff privileges
- Administrative agency hearings
Our services include structuring business arrangements to achieve client goals while avoiding potential regulatory pitfalls, resolving problems with governmental agencies, assisting clients with corporate compliance programs and litigating reimbursement, staff privileges, antitrust, professional liability, and licensure disputes. We also provide counseling on a number of technical legal areas such as employee relations, immigration, environmental law, and taxation or nonprofit entities. An in-depth knowledge of the healthcare industry enables us to consider the ramifications of a client’s problem within the larger context of seemingly unrelated laws and regulations affecting healthcare providers.
