Experience

Health Care

Kramon & Graham has a highly-regarded, nationally-ranked health care practice. We represent providers, hospitals, medical practices, urgent care facilities, and ambulatory centers in a variety of matters. We represent individual providers in licensing and credentialing and serve as hearing officers at proceedings mandated by hospital bylaws. In our health care practice, we have been on every side of the table, and we bring that insight and experience to each health care client we represent.

The intersection of medicine and law adds to the complexity of the delivery of health care services. Health care professionals and institutions face incredible risks and challenges – malpractice claims, disciplinary actions, HIPAA complaints, credentialing challenges, reimbursement disputes, insurance-coverage questions, and investigations of Medicare/Medicaid fraud, to name only a few. These challenges can threaten the livelihoods of health care providers. We have extensive experience representing clients in these areas.

Our health care experience is broad, and includes:

  • Appearing on behalf of health care providers before licensing boards;
  • Advising health care providers, hospitals, and other institutions on credentialing issues;
  • 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 for health care professionals, practices, and institutions;
  • Serving as personal counsel to health care professionals in contract claims, including insurance-coverage issues, non-compete claims, and partnership disputes;
  • Litigating medical malpractice claims;
  • Providing risk management advice, including advice about HIPAA and the maintenance of medical records;
  • Licensing and standard of care issues relating to teleheath and telemedicine; and
  • Representing health care providers in personal disability claims.

Our attorneys have received national recognition in the representation of practitioners in licensing proceedings and malpractice claims. They are recognized as leaders in their fields by Chambers USA, Best Lawyers, and Benchmark Litigation.
