Nelson Hardiman represents physicians who specialize in aesthetic medicine. We are known for our deep experience and successful track record in accomplishing the goals of our aesthetic medicine providers and medical spa clients. We counsel on business issues, protect against regulatory investigations, and defend high stakes litigation.
Our attorneys understand the legal issues impacting aesthetic medicine providers and handle the most sensitive challenges. We establish compliance programs in response to government investigations and defend against Medical Board accusations. And because California’s ramped-up enforcement measures focus on illegal ownership structures and regulatory concerns, we thoroughly review the corporate and operational structures of our aesthetic medicine provider clients to ensure compliance with the state’s regulatory environment. Whatever the challenge, Nelson Hardiman has the experience and resources to resolve the problems, issues and concerns of aesthetic medicine providers.
Our Work Includes:
Nelson Hardiman accomplishes the goals of primary care physicians facing new challenges from the evolving medical, technological and regulatory landscape. The resurgence of managed care, accelerated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) drives the increased migration of physicians out of private practice into managed-care, hospital-affiliated independent physician associations (IPAs), creating new operational and alignment issues for physicians and setting the stage for new models of delivering healthcare services such as concierge practices and telemedicine.
As primary care physicians service a growing patient population and explore new healthcare delivery models, we help navigate complex legal issues such as the Anti-kickback and Stark laws, HIPAA privacy compliance, and California’s ban on the corporate practice of medicine. Whether you want to set up a compliant IPA business model, negotiate a managed care contract, or are facing exclusion from a health plan’s “narrow network,” we represent primary care physicians in business matters and high-stakes litigation where it counts. Whatever the challenge, Nelson Hardiman has the experience and resources to resolve the problems facing our IPA clients.
