Why settle for healthcare counsel that only sees part of the picture?
Our Healthcare Practice advises hospitals, health systems, physician practices and other providers on the legal, regulatory and business issues that shape their operations. We combine focused healthcare knowledge with the resources of a full-service firm, giving clients a single point of contact for matters that may also involve corporate, employment, tax, cybersecurity, litigation or other areas of law. Our lawyers serve clients throughout Oklahoma and the surrounding region, including organizations with multistate operations. Whatever the issue, we assemble the right team and provide practical guidance grounded in a longstanding understanding of the healthcare industry.
Staying ahead of regulators, and ready when they arrive
We counsel hospitals, physician-owned hospitals, nursing and residential care facilities, physician groups, home health agencies, hospices, organ procurement organizations and ancillary providers, helping them manage the regulatory demands that shape their daily operations and respond quickly when scrutiny intensifies. Our lawyers regularly advise on:
- Regulatory compliance and provider operations: Medicare and Medicaid requirements, reimbursement, fraud and abuse, HIPAA privacy and security, patient rights, end-of-life and organ donation matters, medical staff issues, credentialing, peer review and professional licensure
- Investigations and administrative matters: DOJ, CMS and DEA inquiries, subpoenas and search warrants, licensing and disciplinary proceedings, regulatory enforcement, and administrative appeals
Healthcare business decisions do not stay in one legal lane
A transaction, expansion, or operational change can raise corporate, tax, employment, technology and real estate issues at the same time. As part of a full-service firm, we bring the right lawyers together to address:
- Transactions and business matters: Entity organization and governance, contracts, acquisitions and divestitures, joint ventures, physician arrangements, managed care, finance and reorganizations
- Related legal and business needs: Employment, tax, antitrust, intellectual property, technology and cybersecurity, real estate, white collar defense and private wealth planning
Can today’s investment decisions withstand tomorrow’s reimbursement pressures and technological advances?
Today’s healthcare organizations are being asked to do more with constrained reimbursement, rapid technology change and increasingly complex operating requirements, and this will only continue moving forward. We help clients evaluate acquisitions, divestitures, affiliations and new service lines, structure contracts and financing arrangements and make difficult decisions about where to invest, scale back or refocus. We also actively advise clients on the responsible integration of AI and other emerging technologies, from negotiating implementation agreements to developing privacy, security and risk-management practices designed to reduce exposure before a breach occurs and respond effectively if one does.
Pushback from payors calls for counsel that pushes back
We represent insurance companies, managed care organizations, ERISA plans, third-party administrators and other payors as well as healthcare providers, including hospitals, physicians and pharmacy companies. Our healthcare litigation lawyers understand the industry and bring broad experience in insurance coverage, ERISA preemption, tort and regulatory matters, labor and employment disputes, and administrative law.
