HHS Section 504 Final Rule: New Antidiscrimination Measures in Healthcare Treatment and Accessibility

Mr. Baker is a strategic partner and trusted advisor to managed care organizations, health insurance issuers, plan sponsors, and pharmacy benefit managers because he helps them navigate an increasingly complex and challenging body of federal and state laws and policy considerations. His practice spans federal healthcare programs, such as Medicaid Managed Care and Medicare Advantage, and commercial health insurance under both the Affordable Care Act and ERISA, from legislation and rulemaking through implementation and controversy.

Ms. Carey's practice spans the health care landscape, with a particular focus on regulatory compliance, reimbursement and related health care issues. She provides clients with practical and value-additive counsel, leveraging her extensive legal experience and background working at managed-care organizations to offer key insights into developing best reimbursement practices. She regularly works with various health care providers, from independent practitioners and start-ups to large health systems, long-term care providers, and substance abuse treatment and behavioral health providers. Ms. Carey's practice extends to drafting policies and procedures for health systems and academic medical centers, including different state life-sustaining treatment and graduate medical education policies. She is regularly called upon to address health system issues requiring a deep technical knowledge of health care programs, such as COVID and telemedicine flexibilities, CMS waiver appeals and adding new service lines to comply with enrollment regulations.
