      Practices

    Digital Health & Telemedicine

    Digital health technologies and the remote delivery of healthcare services, including telemedicine, continue to evolve. As more modern reimbursement models are created to accommodate these advancements, new compliance issues will assuredly follow. Helping clients navigate the legal complexities that often accompany innovation is what our digital health law firm and telemedicine attorneys do best.

    /Overview

    As legal issues surrounding digital health and telemedicine continue to emerge, these platforms, applications, and services are now at the forefront of the healthcare industry, transforming the way healthcare is accessed and delivered. This has created opportunities for both old and new players to disrupt the industry by removing barriers to care, gathering new data to provide a more complete picture of a patient’s health, and designing new pathways through which patients can more actively manage their own health. Navigating these dynamics requires a thorough understanding of these emerging lines of new business, the associated healthcare law challenges, as well as the ability to address them proactively.

    With innovation, new risks and legal concerns are sure to follow. Healthcare providers and digital health vendors must understand and address these risks. Our team of telemedicine lawyers partner with clients on the unique impact of healthcare laws in the digital space, critical regulatory and operational issues related to fraud and abuse, restrictions on the corporate practice of medicine, reimbursement, compliance, health information privacy and security, remote patient monitoring (RPM), and more. From startups to leading healthcare organizations, Nixon Peabody has the experience to guide clients through this transformative time as a recognized digital health law firm.
