Healthcare is among the most heavily regulated industries in the United States. Hospitals, health systems, physician practices, long-term care facilities, and other healthcare providers operate under overlapping federal and state regulatory frameworks that touch every aspect of operations — patient care, billing, employment, privacy, governance, and transactions. At BKRH Law, our health and hospital law attorneys provide healthcare clients with the experienced regulatory and transactional counsel they need to operate confidently in this demanding environment.
The Regulatory Landscape Hospitals Actually Face
Healthcare attorneys advise on a daily basis on HIPAA privacy and security, the Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute, the False Claims Act, EMTALA, the Joint Commission accreditation standards, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement requirements, state licensing rules, and the medical staff bylaws that govern physician-hospital relationships. Decisions made without attention to these frameworks can carry significant financial and operational consequences.
