About

Provided by Thompson Coburn LLP

Thompson Coburn’s Health Care team manages sophisticated transactions, regulatory and compliance issues, and high-stakes litigation for hospitals and health systems, health plans, group purchasing organizations, physician groups, and other health care entities. We guide clients through transactions including mergers, acquisitions and affiliations; joint ventures; hospital-based and other physician services agreements; value-based care arrangements; managed care agreements; technology agreements; group purchasing agreements; and clinical trial agreements.

Government regulations in this sector can be daunting, but our team regularly counsels health care entities through these challenges. Our services include in-depth guidance on regulatory concerns including Stark and Anti-kickback laws, False Claims Act, Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement, and EMTALA. We also assist providers with structuring and managing internal compliance programs and investigations, government investigations, and self-disclosures. Our lawyers have significant experience in HIPAA and data privacy and security compliance and incident response.

Our litigators represent health systems, hospitals, and health care providers in matters involving managed care reimbursement disputes, state prompt pay statutes, ERISA, and False Claims Act. We also represent clients facing investigations before government enforcement agencies including the DOJ, HHS, state attorneys general, the Office of Civil Rights, and others.
