Health Care Law
Health Care professionals are feeling the pinch. It seems that the business of health care has become more important and demanding than the practice of health care. How much of your time, attention, and other resources is devoted to administration, getting paid, dealing with insurance companies, talking to private payors, and the like? We know. You spend a lot of your time on these things. Too much time. Moreover, the advances in medical care and the changes in our health care system are moving, it seems, faster and faster. You want to spend your time healing and keeping up with medical care advances. You don't want to spend your time talking and dealing with bureaucrats, be they in government, insurance companies, or third party administrators.
Your lawyer can't fix the health care system that causes all this. But she can make it so that maybe, just maybe, you can spend your time healing instead of dealing. You can protect yourself by incorporating as a medical professional corporation or as a medical limited liability company. Maybe you are in practice with one or more other doctors. All of you can then join to set up the proper business organization. Once you have the organization in place, you can then designate an employee to handle all the health care system issues such as billing, properly filling out forms for insurance carriers, working with patients who are self-pay, and the like. This will free you up to do what you do best: Treating patients. Your lawyer can also be a strong resource when it comes to patient privacy, protecting sensitive information, and even helping your company's administrator. In addition, we know that it is easy for a former patient to accuse you of medical malpractice. We know that the accusation itself can be devastating. We also know that very few accusations have merit. You live and work in a litigious world. Keep your legal team close at hand to protect you. After all, it is your license, your livelihood, your reputation that are on the line. Make sure that your legal team is there at the line with you.
