Healthcare Law Services for New York Providers

Practice Formation and Structuring

New York's corporate practice of medicine doctrine restricts how medical, dental, and certain other healthcare practices can be owned and operated. We form compliant practice entities and structure management arrangements that achieve your business goals within the regulatory framework.

Regulatory Compliance

New York healthcare providers face compliance obligations from multiple federal and state agencies. We develop structured compliance programs that address billing, HIPAA, fraud and abuse, and specialty-specific regulatory requirements.

HIPAA Privacy and Security

New York 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. New York 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

New York 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

New York 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 New York Healthcare Providers Should Know

New York healthcare providers operate under one of the most heavily regulated environments in the country. The New York Department of Health, Office of the Medicaid Inspector General, and Office of Professional Discipline all exercise oversight authority that affects how providers operate, bill, and maintain their licenses.

New York's corporate practice of medicine doctrine restricts who can own medical, dental, and certain other healthcare practices. Providers who want to bring in non-physician investors or create management company structures need legal guidance to ensure compliance with this fundamental requirement.

New York has been expanding its telehealth regulations, creating new opportunities and compliance obligations for providers who offer remote services. Understanding the current rules around telehealth licensure, informed consent, and reimbursement is important for providers expanding into virtual care.
