Throughout the United States, Behavioral Health Care is carved out of the mainstream medical health care system in terms of delivery of care, providers, and reimbursement. For nearly 30 years, Clark Hill’s Behavioral Health Care lawyers have been involved in the psychiatric rehabilitation evolution together with the legal implications of managed behavioral health care. Clark Hill has assembled an experienced, dedicated team of attorneys, paralegals, psychiatrists, nurses, and claims assessment specialists devoted to serving behavioral health care recipients, providers, and managed care companies. Based on first-hand experiences, one of Clark Hill’s attorneys and a consulting psychiatrist recently published an article regarding cutting edge issues involving the “Collision of the Behavioral Health Recovery Model with the American Legal System.”
Clark Hill’s Behavioral Health Care team represents behavioral health care providers in numerous states related to administrative law, contract disputes, licensing, claims disputes, government regulatory compliance, malpractice defense, CMS sanctions, healthcare financing, creation and operation of managed care organizations, and internal corporate compliance. The lawyers at Clark Hill are familiar with government managed care contracts and the issues affecting all providers generated through ongoing governmental regulation.
Clark Hill’s Behavioral Health Care team consistently demonstrates proven effectiveness in preparing and strategizing defenses for malpractice claims, risk management, contract claims, employment disputes, and government procurement. Our Behavioral Health Care team recognizes and appreciates the need for effective client involvement in all matters handled by Clark Hill.
