      Practices

    Healthcare Regulatory & Compliance

    Regulatory issues and compliance are a leading concern for our clients. Our healthcare compliance attorneys have the skills and experience to help you navigate regulatory complexity and protect your right to operate.

    /Overview

    With a comprehensive understanding of healthcare regulatory compliance and requirements, our team at Nixon Peabody possesses the knowledge and experience to effectively navigate and address all aspects of healthcare regulatory compliance. Our team, including two former state Department of Health (DOH) attorneys, has decades of experience in developing plans that address state and federal regulations, ensuring regulatory compliance in healthcare and obtaining the necessary approvals.

    We are in constant communication with our colleagues at the DOH, and our strong relationships allow for candid discussions surrounding issues or modifications required ahead of submitting applications for formal regulatory approval. We establish, implement, and monitor compliance programs that prevent, detect, and correct practices that fail to comply with the complex fraud and abuse laws governing healthcare services. And if violations do happen, we act quickly to prevent further issues, minimize penalties, and, when necessary, handle investigations and prosecutions by both federal and state entities.
