Healthcare Disputes
Today’s healthcare industry environment presents unique challenges for both the provider and payor. The environment is overlaid with increasingly complex rules, regulations and laws, plus the scrutiny of federal and state agencies and regulators. Providers and payors confront constant risk to maintain operations that meet both contractual as well as compliance requirements.
Stout’s Healthcare Disputes team has extensive experience working with healthcare providers (hospitals, radiology clinics, home health, and hospices), payors (both commercial and governmental entities), and their respective counsel to address a broad range of matters from reimbursement contractual compliance, including commercial contracts, Medicare and Medicaid, to False Claims Acts, Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark-Law-related matters, intellectual property matters, as well as litigation and settlement support.
