Providing effective and quality healthcare is about risk - knowing it, identifying it, and then managing it. This is the same philosophy that RCO Law takes in representing every one of its healthcare clients. Whether it is the risks involved in defending a medical malpractice case, or the risks involved in establishing and operating a new medical practice, our attorneys bring their breadth of knowledge and experience to each facet of the industry. This allows us to provide our many healthcare clients with a holistic understanding of the many risks – and rewards – of caring for their patients.
Employment & Labor
We advise hospitals and physician groups on all aspects of the employment relationship, which includes defending against claims based upon civil rights, discrimination, workers’ compensation, and non-compete agreements.
Hospital Contracting & Purchasing
We regularly advise hospitals and practice groups on a variety of healthcare-related business transactions, including electronic medical record agreements, equipment purchases and lease agreements, and vendor contracts.
Medical Malpractice Defense
Often the worst day of a healthcare provider’s personal and professional life is when he or she is sued for malpractice. Through thoughtful preparation and planning, our attorneys have successfully defended Michigan and Ohio hospitals, professional practice groups, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare employees who have been sued for medical negligence and other related claims.
Medical Staff Governance
We understand and appreciate the important relationship between a hospital and its medical staff and we offer meaningful guidance in areas of quality assessment and improvement, credentialing/privileging, and general governance.
Physician Practices & Contracting
From establishing professional medical practices to managing and enforcing the terms of shareholder and partnership agreements, we take care of the details so that you can take care of your patients.
Regulatory Compliance
Through education and cooperation, we take the fear out of navigating – and complying with – Stark law, anti-kickback statutes, HIPAA, and Medicare / Medicaid reimbursement regulations.
