Alan helps clients develop and maintain up-to-date compliant policy and procedures, contracts and work force training programs.. Alan draws invaluable experience from his work as a hospital general counsel as he advises and represents hospitals and health systems in their oft-challenging operational issues addressing the traditional corporate concerns within the context of the healthcare marketplace. He provides advice on corporate organization and governance, strategic alliances and business transactions, medical staff relations and peer review body and practitioner disputes, medical staff bylaws, policies and procedures, practitioner credentialing, and bioethics (informed consent/end-of-life decision making/clinical research) issues.. From the first stages of litigation through trial and appeal in state and federal courts, Alan’s client-focused strategies and depth of experience have come to play to resolve matters as efficiently and expediently as possible.. Alan has represented numerous physicians and other healthcare professionals before California regulatory and licensing agencies, having defended providers accused of billing irregularities and fraud by Medicare and Medicaid. He has represented a countless number of hospital providers in federal court lawsuits against the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, often resulting in the payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional program payment to the individual provider for which it was entitled but initially denied.. Above all, Alan is able to apply his extensive healthcare law experiences to get to the heart of every matter and respond effectively to the critical needs of clients, needs which are all the more necessary in this ever-changing healthcare landscape.. In his spare time, Alan pursues his passion for cycling, racquetball, and photography. Reading has been one of his lifelong passions. Although he enjoys the occasional novel, he limits his selection mostly to history and biographies.
