Healthcare

Healthcare law and many legal issues in healthcare have become more complex over the past few years. With more laws and regulations being passed at the federal and state levels of government, the aid of a healthcare law firm is becoming more and more important.

The Arkansas lawyers of Cross, Gunter, Witherspoon & Galchus (CGWG), P.C. work with clients to devise preventative policies and procedures. Prior to implementing these policies, CGWG ensures that these practices are in full compliance with local and federal healthcare laws. Spanning various areas such as government regulations, patient claims and/or provider disputes, CGWG works closely with its clients to determine, ahead of time, any potential circumstances and issues that may arise.

The Little Rock attorneys of CGWG represent many institutions that a typical healthcare law firm does. Our clients include hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, direct healthcare providers, physicians, therapists, and other individual healthcare providers. Many clients seeking the support of our firm are involved with the intricacies of healthcare law in a more indirect manner; these cases often involve instances of employee benefits that are provided by a company and/or medical events relating to a company’s employees.

The Arkansas lawyers of CGWG can assist with the following:

• Medical staff credentialing, privileges, and training

• By-laws and other hospital policies and procedures

• Confidentiality and medical record issues

• EMTALA - Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act

• HIPAA – Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

• OSHA – Occupational Safety and Health Administration

• Quality assurance

• Medicare Part D – a federal program enacted, on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries in the United States, to subsidize the costs of prescription drugs

With the increasing complexity of legal issues in healthcare today, the Little Rock attorneys of CGWG offer clients the knowledge and support necessary to proceed with confidence.
