Of Counsel, Healthcare Practice Group
CurrentI represent both healthcare practitioners and institutional providers including medical practices, medical equipment companies, pharmacies, and surgical centers, with a focus on healthcare licensing, and Medicare and Medicaid compliance issues. I have represented clients in most state and federal administrative forums in South Florida and Tallahassee, as well as in the state circuit and appeals courts. My client work involves defending providers in license disciplinary matters before the Department of Health, and the Agency for Health Care Administration. I also defend providers in Medicare and Medicaid overpayment and prepayment review cases. In addition, I assist healthcare companies and insurers in navigating the highly regulated path to startup, including initial licensing and obtaining provider numbers, and represents buyers and sellers in transactions involving healthcare companies. I am Board Certified in Health Law by The Florida Bar and currently serve as chair of The Florida Bar's Health Law Certification Committee, which oversees the examination process for certifying attorneys as health law specialists.
