Healthcare Compliance
Navigating today’s complex healthcare regulatory environment
The healthcare regulatory environment is constantly in flux. The volume and complexity of new laws, regulations and government guidance make it increasingly difficult for healthcare organizations to remain compliant and aligned with best practices. To make matters even more challenging, government agencies have pursued an aggressive enforcement agenda that has put healthcare providers, payers, and life sciences organizations on the defensive. As a result, leading healthcare organizations are implementing robust compliance programs as proactive measures to protect their operations and reputation.
Our team is focused on helping healthcare clients build, enhance, strengthen, and implement world-class compliance programs. Having worked directly with numerous health plans that hold commercial and government contracts (Medicare Advantage & Part D, Medicaid, TriCare, and the Affordable Care Act), we are well-equipped to partner with payers, providers, pharmacies, and medical services organizations (MSOs).
