Compliance with the laws and regulations governing Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement is critical to the financial success of healthcare providers through appropriate optimization of revenue.
Recognized by U.S. News – Best Lawyers as a national leader in health law, Akerman's Healthcare Practice Group counsels clients in pre-payment reviews, payment suspensions, audits, claim denials, overpayments, and appeals at all administrative and judicial levels. Our highly skilled team, which includes a former general counsel for a statewide Medicaid program, works with leading reimbursement consultants and other experts and statisticians to assist clients in maintaining reimbursement compliance and in disputing Medicare, Medicaid, and third-party payor overpayment determinations based on statistical extrapolations.
In addition, we routinely assist in the development of corrective action plans, compliance programs, and provide other reimbursement-related compliance guidance and assistance in developing programs consistent with the OIG Compliance Guidance for various healthcare companies and ancillary support service companies.
