At NSM, we have decades of experience representing and advising health care providers of all sizes. Our clients range from large private hospitals and health care systems to public and nonprofit hospitals to local independent physician practice groups. With extensive experience in regulatory compliance, billing and collection services, insurance reimbursement, business transactions, and civil litigation, we are dedicated to protecting your legal and financial interests.

Collection, Reimbursement and Third-Party Recovery

A prominent part of our firm’s practice involves helping clients maximize revenue from third-party liability insurance coverage. Based on decades of experience, we have created and successfully implemented a system designed to protect a provider’s legal right to be paid from third-party benefits, recognize accounts eligible for third-party payments, identify the applicable coverages, and negotiate and resolve medical bills with lawyers representing patients injured by a third-party. When necessary, we will go to court to enforce our client’s rights to be paid from third-party liability insurance proceeds.

Our office also represents providers in disputes with public and private health insurance providers. These matters include coverage disputes, issues with billing or coding, and reimbursement disputes. In limited circumstances, we also offer collection services for self-pay accounts.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance

Our law firm regularly provides advice and guidance relating to compliance with state and federal laws and regulations. We are experienced in matters such as HIPAA compliance, EMTALA, lien rights, workers compensation laws, the Secondary Payor Act and related Medicare regulations, Personal Injury Protection statutory provisions, and consumer protection laws, among many others.

Practice Formation, Contracts and Real Estate Acquisition

Our firm assists clients with all aspects of practice formation, including structuring partnerships and drafting agreements that foster collaboration while safeguarding individual interests. We also draft, negotiate, and enforce a wide range of agreements, including employment contracts, vendor agreements, and service contracts. When expanding your medical practice involves acquiring property, constructing new facilities, or negotiating leases, our attorneys provide comprehensive representation to protect your interests.
