As a Partner in Nixon Peabody’s Health Care group my main areas of focus are: Healthcare TransactionsI assist clients in complex transactions involving sales and acquisitions of clinics, pharmacies, labs, and hospitals. I represent healthcare entities in the regulatory aspects of transactions, including corporate structuring, diligence, licensure, reimbursement, and credentialing. With deep experience handling regulatory issues implicated in healthcare transactions, I often serve as the regulatory counsel on a range of matters involving state and federal agencies.Digital HealthI guide clients through developing innovative health delivery businesses and models, including value-based arrangements leveraging AI technology. My digital health experience includes counseling national telehealth platforms, publicly traded technology companies, and digital health startups on issues involving the practice of medicine, scope of practice (e.g., licensure, consent, doctor-patient relationship), reimbursement, corporate practice of medicine issues, and e-prescribing (including controlled substances). Regulatory ComplianceI regularly advise clients on compliance with federal and California health laws (including pharmacy and controlled substances regulations). I am often asked to assess False Claims Act risk, appeal alleged overpayments, defend government investigations relating to Medicare and Medicaid (including Medi-Cal) billing, and resolve self-disclosure obligations under the Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute. I have successfully defended clients seeking resolution of government healthcare program overpayment issues through negotiated settlements. Managed Care ReimbursementI advise on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement/audit matters, including representing clients in administrative hearings and follow-on litigation. I’ve worked with some of the largest managed care organizations, physician groups, and specialty health plans to develop cutting-edge value-based reimbursement payment models. I also counsel large physician networks, including Independent Practice Associations (IPAs), Medicare Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), and health systems, on physician contracting, network, and revenue cycle management matters.

Listed skills include Courts, Legal Writing, Civil Litigation, Research, and 5 others.
