Healthcare Law Services for Bronx Providers

Practice Formation and Structuring

Bronx providers forming new practices need structures that comply with New York's corporate practice restrictions while addressing the practical needs of operating in the borough's healthcare market. We form compliant practice entities and management arrangements.

Regulatory Compliance

Bronx providers serving Medicaid populations face particular scrutiny around billing compliance, medical necessity documentation, and program integrity. A structured compliance program demonstrates good faith and reduces enforcement risk.

HIPAA Privacy and Security

Bronx healthcare providers must comply with HIPAA's Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule. We advise on HIPAA compliance programs, business associate agreements, breach response procedures, and the intersection of HIPAA with New York's additional privacy requirements. Providers who handle electronic health records need particular attention to security safeguards.

Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Compliance

Federal fraud and abuse laws restrict financial relationships between healthcare providers. The Stark Law prohibits physician self-referrals for designated health services, and the Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits offering or receiving anything of value in exchange for referrals. Bronx providers who share office space, employ other providers, or participate in joint ventures need to structure these arrangements carefully. We analyze existing and proposed arrangements for compliance.

Healthcare Transactions

Bronx healthcare providers buying or selling practices face unique transaction issues including patient record transfers, payor contract assignments, credentialing, and regulatory approvals. We handle the full transaction process from due diligence through closing, ensuring continuity of care and compliance with all applicable requirements.

Managed Care and Payor Contracting

Bronx providers who participate in managed care networks negotiate contracts that affect reimbursement rates, administrative requirements, and dispute resolution. We review managed care agreements, negotiate improved terms where possible, and advise on payor disputes and appeals.

What Bronx Healthcare Providers Should Know

The Bronx has significant healthcare needs driven by the borough's demographics, and providers who serve this population play a critical role. Many Bronx practices depend heavily on Medicaid reimbursement, which makes billing compliance and managed care contracting particularly important to financial stability.

Bronx providers should be aware that the New York Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG) actively audits providers for billing accuracy and program compliance. Having a structured compliance program with regular self-auditing is the most effective way to reduce enforcement risk.

Bronx community health centers and federally qualified health centers face additional regulatory requirements around governance, scope of project, and federal reporting that require specialized legal guidance.
