Jake guides healthcare providers and facilities through compliance, transactions, and government enforcement—from risk assessment and policy development to investigations and remediation.
Jake advises healthcare providers and facilities on the regulatory, transactional, and enforcement issues that shape their operations. On the compliance side, he counsels clients on fraud, waste, and abuse questions under the Anti-Kickback Statute and Physician Self-Referral (Stark) Law, as well as health information privacy rules such as HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, the Information Blocking rules, the FTC Health Breach Notification Rule, and their state analogues. He also guides providers through licensing, credentialing, and other state and federal regulatory requirements.
His transactional practice supports mergers, acquisitions, practice sales, and other healthcare deals, from regulatory due diligence and deal structuring through contract negotiation. He also handles the corporate side of these transactions, including entity formation, governance, and related employment matters.
Jake also defends healthcare organizations in government enforcement actions, including False Claims Act investigations. He responds to Civil Investigative Demands, coordinates document production strategy, and negotiates with government representatives. In addition, he conducts internal investigations and advises on voluntary self-disclosures, report-and-repayment compliance, and audits under federal and state healthcare programs.
