Health Law
We are working closely with our healthcare clients to keep abreast of available resources affecting the delivery of medical care during this outbreak. We are providing guidance on numerous questions challenging healthcare professionals in their efforts to respond to their patients’ needs, including:
- What are the requirements and legal concerns for re-opening my practice?
- How to provide telemedicine to serve patients during the coronavirus outbreak?
- How do the HIPAA rules impact the practice of medicine in novel ways during the coronavirus outbreak?
- What are the out-of-state licensing rules applicable to treatment during the coronavirus outbreak?
- How will Medicare and Medicaid reimburse for treatment during the coronavirus outbreak? How are commercial payors reimbursing? What will patients be required to pay?
- What funding sources are available to healthcare providers affected by COVID-19?
- What are the requirements for compliance with the HHS Provider Relief Fund Terms and Conditions?
- How do the OIG waivers available during COVID-19 affect my practice?
- What are the restrictions for providing elective surgeries?
