Frequently Asked Questions

Our firm represents physicians, physician assistants, doctors, hospitals, nurse practitioners, medical groups, ambulatory surgery centers, and other healthcare providers throughout Texas. We work with practitioners across specialties, from primary care to surgical subspecialties, as well as mental health providers and allied health professionals facing regulatory or legal challenges.

Engage healthcare counsel at the earliest indication of potential issues. This includes upon receipt of board complaints, payor audit notices, subpoenas, or government inquiries. Early legal intervention often prevents escalation and provides more resolution options. 

We also recommend consulting counsel before entering significant contracts, restructuring practices, or implementing new business arrangements.

Healthcare law involves specialized regulations that govern almost every aspect of medical practice. Unlike general business matters, healthcare transactions and operations must comply with Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, HIPAA, and numerous state-specific requirements. 

The consequences of violations can include license sanctions, payment exclusion, and significant penalties. Healthcare counsel provides guidance specific to these complex regulatory frameworks.

Look for attorneys with specific healthcare law experience (not just general business law), familiarity with Texas Medical Board procedures, knowledge of both federal and state healthcare regulations, and a track record representing providers in your specialty. Ask about their experience with cases similar to yours and their approach to cost-effective legal solutions.

We bring proven experience with personalized counsel to complex healthcare regulations.
