OIG Compliance Attorneys Serving Princeton, Newark and Trenton, as well as Cities in New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania
Our health care attorneys have significant experience creating comprehensive compliance programs for health care providers and skilled nursing facilities. We conduct on-site training so our clients can monitor and audit their facilities to ensure compliance with our best practices, and we create corrective action plans to address any infractions.
Improving Quality of Care
Protection of health care businesses starts with a review by our clinical director, who scrutinizes all documentation and medical records, including Medicare coding, to check for compliance with the quality of care standards as well as privacy and data security issues related to record-keeping. We defend our clients against Medicare and Medicaid Fraud Unit audits and prosecution. In addition, we prepare facilities and staff for Department of Health surveys, and review survey results. If deficiencies are noted, a corrective plan is created to avoid future problems.
We conduct on-site training and mentoring of all relevant personnel, with special emphasis on the facility's director of nursing.
Skilled Nursing Facility Resident Abuse Issues
Our health care attorneys have significant experience investigating allegations of nursing home abuse. If a violation is detected, we create a plan of corrective action and counsel our clients regarding methods for reporting that reduce the possibility of litigation by family members or government entities. In cases of litigation due to nursing home quality of care issues, we aggressively defend the rights of our nursing home clients.
