Nicolosi & Associates has a solid grasp of the dynamic issues facing health care practitioners and group practices. Our attorneys regularly advise health care organizations on business matters that arise on a day-to-day basis, as well on issues that reflect the intricacies of today’s heavily regulated health care environment.
Our health care attorneys have the experience to help their clients navigate this complex landscape. We regularly act as general counsel to health care organizations of all sizes; from sole practitioners to multi-specialty groups and health care systems. We provide expert guidance on physician contracts, non-compete clauses, insurance issues, HIPPA and STARK issues, practice formation and mergers, corporate governance, equipment and building leases, and EMR and physician compensation plans. In keeping with our firm’s commitment to delivering personal and attentive service to clients, our health care attorneys work as partners with management and governing boards to counsel them on all aspects of the business of health care.
We have negotiated innovative joint venture agreements that expand practice areas and offer new opportunities for referrals. We have experience in helping their clients partner with hospitals to maximize physician opportunities and promote recruitment. We assist their health care clients with credentialing and establishing new practices. We act as counsel to hospital credentialing committees and the subsequent evaluation process, and we represent individual practitioners in IDPR proceedings with an appreciation for the personal toll that accompanies that process.
Beyond the boardroom, our health care attorneys bring 25 years of health care litigation experience from employment matters to coverage disputes and medical negligence actions. Our attorneys have defended health care organizations at both the trial court and appellate court levels throughout northern Illinois. We have also helped their health care clients enforce non-compete provisions and litigated coverage issues.
Pre-suit, we undertake proven risk management strategies and work on initial incident investigations, brokering resolutions with other parties to avoid litigation. From decades of experience, we know that the best way to avoid the expense of litigation is pro-active risk management and staff education. Evidence of their expertise is regular requests for us to lecture to physician, nursing and EMS groups on relevant medical law issues.
Our firm’s heath care practice group can help you and your organization focus more effectively on practicing medicine and caring for patients.
