Our experienced insurance regulatory attorneys advise health insurers, health plans and other entities regulated by state insurance agencies as they navigate the complex web of regulations applicable to virtually every aspect of their businesses. We are pragmatic and translate legal requirements into real-world solutions. Our services include strategic guidance related to licensing and registration, compliance with state insurance laws and regulations, financial filings, health practitioner and facility contracting, and mergers and acquisitions. We have significant experience with Medicaid and Medicare and regularly counsel Medicaid managed care organizations and Medicare Advantage plans on reimbursement issues, fraud, waste and abuse, and general compliance matters.
We proactively engage with regulators, legislators and policymakers to remain abreast of emergent industry developments. Our team and clients are well-positioned to play meaningful roles in shaping the regulatory landscape. We represent health plans in informal negotiations with agency officials and with respect to market conduct and financial exams. Our proactive engagement on behalf of our clients often results in the avoidance of formal enforcement actions when compliance issues are identified. When formal disputes arise, we offer skillful representation in administrative proceedings and litigation.
