Health Care

The provision of health care is burdened by a myriad of factors - malpractice claims, disciplinary actions, HIPAA complaints, credentialing challenges, reimbursement disputes, insurance coverage questions and charges of Medicare/Medicaid fraud. These factors can threaten the livelihoods of health care providers. At Kramon & Graham, we combine our extensive experience in all of these areas with tough negotiating skills and litigation skills that enable us to resolve efficiently the most complex cases.

We have given advice to health care providers and hospitals, and served as hearing officers at proceedings mandated by hospital by-laws. Because we have sat at every side of the table, we are able to triage problems promptly and develop strategies based on the depth and breadth of our experience which includes:

• Appearing on behalf of health care providers before licensing boards
• Advising health care providers, hospitals and other institutions on credentialing issues and serving as hearing officers in credentialing proceedings
• Defending claims of Medicare and Medicaid fraud as well as providing advice and litigation services in reimbursement disputes
• Reviewing and developing contracts
• Resolving contractual claims including insurance coverage issues, non-compete claims and partnership disputes
• Litigating medical malpractice claims
• Giving general risk management advice, including advice about HIPAA and the maintenance of medical records
• Representing health care providers who have disability claims
