GW was one of the first law
firms to recognize the importance of creating a
Compliance and White Collar Defense Practice Group. This
practice group focuses on the unique regulatory and
business concerns of the health care industry. We advise
our clients on compliance-related matters, including the
formulation of client-specific compliance programs. The
Compliance and White Collar Defense Practice Group
represents hospitals, nursing homes, certified and
licensed home health agencies, physician practices,
clinical laboratories, billing companies and others. We
represent clients in connection with Federal (Office of
the Inspector General), State (Attorney General and the
Department of Health), criminal, civil and
administrative investigations, audits and prosecutions.
Many of our attorneys in this Practice Group are former
government prosecutors or criminal defense attorneys.
The Compliance and White
Collar Defense Practice Group advises our clients in the
following representative areas:
- The development,
implementation and supervision of corporate
compliance programs in accordance with the Federal
Sentencing Guidelines and the model programs
published by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG)
of the US Department of Health and Human Services
- Conflict of interest
- Legal audits of
affiliation, managed care and all other agreements,
including "Stark," Fraud and Abuse, private
inurement and antitrust issues
- CPT and chargemaster
analysis
- Medicare and
Medicaid billing, False Claims and Civil Monetary
Penalties
- Procurement, sole
source and bidding
- Compliance training
- "White collar"
defense under Federal and State law, including
audits, investigations and other "health care fraud"
matters
The Compliance and
White Collar Defense Practice Group publishes both a
Compliance News Bulletin and a Nursing Home Bulletin
which address current legal and regulatory issues
affecting the healthcare community. If you would like to
receive these or any other GW publications, please fill
