As an attorney, he has developed a model compliance plan for health care industry clients and has a high degree of familiarity with the concerns of doctors, patients, hospitals, insurance companies, professional practice management companies, and others in the health care industry.
He has served in the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division as a trial and appellate attorney and also as a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles. This background gives him a great deal of experience evaluating allegations of fraud. He also has lectured and written extensively on health care fraud issues.
Many types of health care disputes can be resolved through arbitration, including:
- Insurance and reimbursement issues
- Disputes with hospitals, clinics, independent physician associations (IPAs) or management companies
- Disputes with doctors, nurses, pharmacists or other health care professionals
- Disputes with licensing boards or involving hospital privileges
- Disputes with vendors or suppliers
- Disputes with employees or employee groups
- Non-compete agreements
- Breaches of confidentiality
- Many others
Arbitration allows for the resolution of these disputes in an efficient, professional manner. Any awards granted in arbitration can be kept strictly confidential. Also, parties can stipulate, or the arbitrator may order, that discovery will be handled under a protective order, so that neither party can reveal confidential information.
