Healthcare Law Services for Manhattan Providers

Practice Formation and Structuring

Manhattan healthcare practices often involve complex multi-provider structures, joint ventures, and management arrangements. We form PCs, PLLCs, and MSOs that comply with New York's corporate practice restrictions while enabling sophisticated business arrangements.

Regulatory Compliance

Manhattan healthcare practices face compliance requirements from multiple regulators, including CMS, OIG, the New York DOH, and OMIG. We develop compliance programs that address the specific risks of your practice type and payor mix.

HIPAA Privacy and Security

Manhattan 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. Manhattan 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

Manhattan 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

Manhattan 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 Manhattan Healthcare Providers Should Know

Manhattan's healthcare market is dense and competitive, with providers competing for patients, payor contracts, and office space. The borough's concentration of academic medical centers, specialty practices, and digital health companies creates a sophisticated market where regulatory compliance is taken seriously and enforcement is active.

Manhattan providers forming joint ventures, group practices, or ancillary service arrangements should understand that these structures are among the highest-risk areas for Stark Law and Anti-Kickback violations. Proper structuring under applicable safe harbors and exceptions is essential.

Manhattan practices that accept private equity investment or outside capital must structure these arrangements to comply with the corporate practice of medicine doctrine, which prohibits non-physicians from owning or controlling medical practices in New York.
