Gachassin Law Firm provides a full range of services to its health care clients, across the spectrum of legal issues that challenge an increasingly complex and regulated industry.

For over 30 years, our legal health care specialists have been devoted almost exclusively to the representation and counseling of health care entities, facilities and providers.

As a small, specialized firm, we offer all of the sophisticated services of a larger firm, but with a high degree of individual accountability and attention. Our clients receive the benefits and cost-efficiencies that come from dealing with experienced attorneys who have in-depth understanding of each client's business environment.

We find that in business, just as in medicine, specialized expertise is the key to an informed and successful business decision.

Transactional

Gachassin Law Firm has extensive experience in the assistance of all aspects of business organization and formation, including general business matters, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and financing.

In addition to providing advice on medical staff issues and contractual matters, particularly the negotiation and preparation of provider agreements and physician recruitment arrangements, we also have extensive experience in certification and licensure issues.

Regulatory Compliance

Health care is one of the most regulated and complex industries in the United States today. Gachassin Law Firm helps clients navigate through multiple levels of regulation, as well as non-governmental accreditation standards. We represent all types of providers in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement issues and appeals. We routinely counsel providers in fraud, abuse and Stark compliance and/or enforcement matters. Additionally, we have developed effective compliance plans for hospitals, physicians and other health care providers. Our attorneys travel extensively, making presentations on the complexities of EMTALA and other regulatory matters.

Risk Management

Gachassin Law Firm has long been recognized for our experience in risk management, including EMTALA, medical staff by-law issues, informed consent, medical ethics, development of policies and procedures and evaluation and development of alternative liability insurance arrangements.
