Healthcare

We help clients stay ahead of the shifts with an approach built on a deep understanding of healthcare law and years of experience in developing innovative legal solutions to your needs.

In addition, we have had a hand in shaping most of the major healthcare laws over the past four decades, including:

• Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010
• Medicare Modernization Act of 2003
• Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997
• Balanced Budget Act of 1997
• Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) 
• Budget reconciliation laws of the 1980s

Healthcare legal team members have served as senior congressional staffers on committees with jurisdiction over healthcare and related areas such as labor and pension law. The co-chair of our practice was the general counsel of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Other members of the team have similar high-level experience, including working in senior positions at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Foley Hoag also has extensive experience in representing a wide-range of clients targeted by OIG, DOJ and congressional investigations; defending against civil and criminal fraud claims; and assisting clients with healthcare compliance efforts.
