Healthcare Law
Knowledgeable Healthcare Lawyers And Litigators
Offit Kurman’s Healthcare Practice Group is the trusted advisor to physicians, hospitals, post-acute care facilities, and other healthcare professionals in all aspects of healthcare law. Our attorneys have a well-established background in preventative measures to mitigate professional liability exposure, prevent or derail medical malpractice suits, and counsel them in litigation matters or federal or state government agency matters. Our attorneys stay abreast of evolving and new healthcare issues, so they are ready to advise clients in timely areas such as telemedicine, transparency in pricing and billing of healthcare services, and vaccine mandates.
We have extensive experience in professional licensure matters, compliance, complaint and event management, operational matters, HIPPA breaches, healthcare document drafting, COVID-19 protocol/policy for a physician’s office, and vendor agreements, among other healthcare-related issues to limit liability exposure at the outset. If a client is sued, these preventative measures can reduce the severity of a payment or can derail the claim entirely. In medical malpractice suits, we have experience representing physicians, their practices, hospitals, and post-acute care facilities as personal counsel, overseeing the quality of representation from insurance company-appointed lawyers. This can help to ensure that not only is the malpractice suit being properly managed for the financial implications but also that the professional being sued is being represented with their best interests in mind.
The healthcare team also represents clients with matters related to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), state Departments of Health and other similar government agencies. We support clients in investigations, deficiencies, and actions asserted by government agencies and support the clients in negotiations and appeals.
Offit Kurman attorneys also provide healthcare legal support to the firm’s other practice areas and clients when healthcare issues arise. The team works closely with our complimentary practices including Business Law & Transactions, Nonprofit Entities, Intellectual Property, Labor & Employment and Mergers & Acquisitions, to provide healthcare clients will full-service support and counsel.
