My practice covers various areas of regulatory compliance and transactional work. I work closely with clients on growth strategies, including mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures at every level, from startups to publicly traded companies, providing counsel on related regulatory issues and structure. I also spend much of my time providing compliance guidance in telehealth, reimbursement, licensing, fraud and abuse, and state healthcare law, which are all continuously evolving, particularly in the post-public health emergency era.
I’ve acted as healthcare regulatory counsel on mergers and acquisitions of both public and private healthcare entities and regularly work on joint ventures and other contractual arrangements, such as employment agreements, professional services agreements, and license/lease arrangements. I work closely with healthcare providers (including hospitals, surgical centers, pharmacies, physician groups, and telehealth practices) and healthcare management companies and investment entities on such transactions and advise clients about underlying licensure, fraud and abuse, corporate practice of medicine, and other regulatory issues. I have extensive expertise in providing guidance on PC/MSO models and working with clients to establish and maintain such models in a compliant manner.
I regularly counsel our healthcare clients about navigating their practices/businesses within the confines of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the federal Stark Law, and state law equivalents. I have obtained advisory opinions from the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General regarding compliance with the Anti-Kickback Statute. I also work with clients, including those in the digital healthcare and device spaces, responding to inquiries, such as subpoenas and civil investigative demands, from regulatory agencies and assist them with self-disclosures and repayments to relevant regulatory agencies, as needed. I have significant experience with pharmacy/pharmaceutical manufacturer issues and patient assistance programs.
I work with clients who have experienced data breaches or are undergoing HIPAA investigations. I also help clients bring their policies and practices into compliance with HIPAA.
I expect continued innovation from healthcare technology companies and providers in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI) and telehealth. However, as is often the case in healthcare, technology moves faster than regulation. I am currently counseling several clients on expanding their digital health solutions in a compliant manner. I expect to see increased enforcement activity and government investigations in these areas.
Long Island Healthcare partner Rebecca Simone is quoted in this article discussing the importance for telehealth providers to create comprehensive compliance plans. Rebecca identifies beneficial qualities for compliance officers within organizations and discusses why startup telehealth employees are wary of taking on these roles. Rebecca was quoted from a panel discussion she participated in at the American Telemedicine Association Conference & Expo in March.
This article, which covers the dismissal of a lawsuit against medical device maker Bracco USA Inc. and several healthcare providers over an alleged scheme involving free medical equipment, mentions NP for representing one of the providers in the case (NYU Langone Health System Inc.). The NP team includes Long Island Healthcare partners Lindsay Maleson and Rebecca Simone, and Government Investigations & White-Collar Defense partner Adam Tarosky and associate Bobby McManigal, both of the Washington, DC office.
