Primarily based in Washington DC, Dentons is well-placed to act for healthcare consulting companies, health systems, and hospital associations in a broad swathe of mandates, including assisting with acquiring supplemental Medicaid payments, and Medicaid and Medicare coverage and reimbursement issues on both a state and federal level. Working out of the Bay Area, practice head Kimberly Kerry is known for her deep knowledge of medical facility licensing and certification work, and corporate transactions within the healthcare space, often assisting multi-hospital health systems and non-profit healthcare clients. New York’s Charles Luband is recommended for his longstanding regulatory expertise, particularly in relation to government programs, and is described by clients as ‘one of the most skilled health care lawyers in the country’. Fraud and abuse expert Gadi Weinreich is well-equipped to handle whistleblower claims, and AKS and Stark-related matters. The ’extremely competent’ Holley Thames Lutz stands out due to her strong focus on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement and coverage issues, and is noted for her experience in interactions with CMS, while Christopher Janney regularly advises on M&A and internal fraud and abuse investigations.
