Overview

New York requires that all health care be furnished by duly licensed, certified or approved organizations. The certificate of need (CON) process generally refers to those laws that require entities to submit establishment or licensure applications in order to engage in certain health care activities. We provide assistance in all aspects of CON and licensure counseling, including assistance in the drafting and submission of all legal documentation regarding such applications, as well as the provision of advice and recommendations about operational requirements for each type of provider service.

We also assist licensed health care professionals, including physicians, dentists, oral surgeons, advanced practice providers and nurses, in navigating governmental investigations and disciplinary proceedings. Our attorneys prepare health care professionals for interviews by representatives of the New York State Department of Education and the Office of Professional Medical Conduct and have represented them at such interviews and in disciplinary proceedings. We have also interfaced with representatives of the New York State Department of Education and the Office of Professional Medical Conduct on behalf of health care professionals. Our multidisciplinary group also has experience assisting hospitals and health care systems with preparing, filing and prosecuting disciplinary proceedings against providers accused of wrongdoing.
