The success of your business depends upon your ability to stay in compliance with federal and state laws and regulatory guidelines. Our Denver health care regulations attorneys will help you understand how these laws pertain to your business and the steps you can take to prevent issues. Look to us for experienced, knowledgeable counsel on:
HIPAA compliance issues: We will help you take the appropriate safeguards to ensure you are compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Stark: Stark law prohibits a physician from referring a patient for designated health services if the physician or a member of his immediate family has a financial relationship, unless an exception applies. Whether you are setting up a new health care business or buying or selling an existing business, we will work with you to ensure that you do not violate Stark law.
Anti-kickback: The anti-kickback law prohibits the knowing and willful soliciting or receiving, offering or paying any remuneration in return for referrals for goods or services reimbursable under government health care programs. We will help you understand and manage this issue to ensure compliance.
NPDB and HIPDB: We will counsel you on your obligations and rights regarding making reports to the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) and the Healthcare Integrity Protection Data Bank (HIPDB).
Medical Transparency Act: We will inform you of the information you must provide to your respective regulatory agency such as board certifications, affiliations or privileges and disciplinary actions in other states or countries. In his position at the attorney general's office, Steve co-authored the medical board's original Colorado Transparency Act compliance policy and understands the implications of the law.
