Compliance Programs

Complex statutes, regulations and guidelines govern how providers may furnish and bill for health care services. Abrams attorneys have extensive experience assisting providers in the development and implementation of compliance programs designed to prevent, uncover and correct non-compliant practices. Our compliance programs are tailored to the health care provider or organization (from small physician practices to nursing homes, home care agencies, early intervention providers and hospital systems); are designed to be compliant with federal and New York State requirements; and include auditing procedures to preserve, to the extent possible, applicable attorney-client and attorney work product privileges. Our attorneys also assist providers in determining whether an overpayment exists and, if necessary, we guide providers through the federal and New York State self-disclosure processes.
