Finding solutions for technical issues starts by anticipating problems

Steven focuses on solving technical issues related to regulatory, compliance, reimbursement challenges and False Claims Act litigation. This includes regulatory audit defense, ACO formation and management, clinical research and other highly technical areas.

Steven's clients are primarily located in New York state, but he also represents other national health care providers and corporate clients that purchase health care companies or finance their operations. He works with large hospital systems as well as smaller providers and physician group practices. He also does managed care-related work for health plans and advises provider trade organizations.

He regularly defends providers facing regulatory audits by the Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) or its contractors.
