The health care industry is heavily regulated and the act of starting, purchasing and/or selling a medical practice or facility is accompanied by complicated regulations and compliance considerations at every step of the process.  If you are thinking about establishing, purchasing and/or selling a new medical practice or facility, please call Ms. Sable to examine and evaluate the options available to you and the specific considerations and challenges that you will face concerning the proposed venture.  For more information, please click on the following links.

If you are looking to expand your existing medical practice, obtain accreditation for an office-based surgery practice and/or a Certificate of Need in New York or New Jersey, the proposed entity will often involve a complicated and cumbersome application and expansion process for establishment.  These proposed health care entities are heavily regulated and obligate the owners/providers to observe strict compliance standards and follow voluminous rules and regulations from application through the life of the practice or facility.  If you are interested in expanding your medical practice or obtaining a new form of accreditation and/or certification, please call Ms. Sable for a comprehensive consultation or click on one of the links below for more information.

All medical practices and facilities are obligated to comply with regulatory power houses such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA") and the HITECH Act.  The implementation and observation of a comprehensive compliance program is not only critical to maintain regulatory compliance but is also integral in preventing violations of the state and federal false claims acts.   In the State of New York, providers of care, services and supplies for which the Medicaid program constitutes a "substantial portion" of their business operations are required to adopt and implement and effective compliance plan.  Maintaining compliance requires the implementation of a compliance program that is narrowly tailored to each individual practice and/or facility's specific needs and often incorporates militant systems for monitoring, evaluating and reviewing the programs systems and procedures.  If you are preparing to implement a comprehensive compliance program or a system of internal audits, quality controls and safety programs, or you would like to review your existing programs or procedures, please call Ms. Sable to examine and evaluate the specific needs of your practice and/or facility and the options available to you.  For more information, please click on the following links.
