Health Care

Ryan Law Partners represents clients in a wide range of health care disputes, investigations, enforcement, and compliance matters. From defending health care providers and companies (including hospitals, surgery centers, physicians, medical device manufacturers, and others), to the prosecution and defense of claims related to federal and state benefit programs (Medicare and Medicaid), our attorneys have successfully and efficiently handled numerous cases concerning Medicare/Medicaid fraud, private insurance coverage, billing and coding, overpayment claims, data protection, regulatory compliance, and other health care business conflicts that result in (often simultaneous) civil litigation, arbitration, administrative hearings, and parallel proceedings. We counsel an array of health care clients on fraud and abuse prevention and the ever-changing regulatory environment.
