Health care providers rely on us to effectively represent their interests in a wide variety of matters requiring advocacy and litigation.
UB Greensfelder’s health care litigators guide clients through complex commercial health care litigation, medical malpractice claims, health care operational issues, and government, regulatory, and licensing disputes.
Complex Commercial Health Care Litigation
As skilled lawyers backed by state-of-the art technological support, we guide clients through complex health care litigation. Health care providers regularly turn to us for complex litigation involving payor disputes (including class actions related to charity care policies, facility fees, balance billing, coordination of benefits, and medical lien rights), Prompt Pay Act claims, data breaches, and non-compete disputes.
Health Care Operational Issues
We have experience advising clients on medical staff privileging/credentialing issues, HIPAA compliance, third-party subpoenas for medical records and deposition testimony, involuntary commitment hearings, guardianship proceedings, and enforcement actions/restraining orders against those violating guest policies.
Government, Regulatory, and Licensing Disputes
Working closely with our Health Care and Regulated Industries Group, our health law litigators are experienced with government investigations and fraud and abuse claims/whistleblower actions. We also regularly assist with certificates of need, peer reviews, staff discipline matters, and issues before relevant state boards.
Medical Malpractice
The successful defense of medical malpractice claims largely depends on the ability to understand the clinical aspects of the medical care at issue. Assisted by registered nurses employed by the firm, our seasoned medical malpractice attorneys can address complicated medical issues and effectively communicate those issues to judges and juries.
