Behar & Kalman, LLP has represented health care providers and their trade associations for over thirty years.  The firm’s practice is wide-ranging. Our clients include hospitals, physician practices, nursing facilities, health care provider trade associations, assisted living facilities, and providers of such ancillary services as air and land ambulance services, laboratory services, and imaging services.  The firm’s practice areas include:

• engaging in health care policy development and advocacy before federal and state government agencies
  
  
• providing counsel in Medicare payment matters before the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Medicare Provider Reimbursement Review Board
  
  
• pursuing Medicaid reimbursement issues before state rate setting agencies
  
  
• addressing providers’ licensing, certification, and Medicare/Medicaid compliance issues
  
  
• representing clients on business and corporate issues
  
  
• advancing clients' interests in court

The health care landscape continually is changing as a result of federal and state health reform initiatives. At B&K, we believe that keeping clients abreast of current developments is crucial to their understanding the evolving rules that directly affect their interests. To that end, the firm routinely advises clients on proposed statutory and regulatory changes which affect their operations under Medicare and Medicaid and which affect their compliance obligations under state and federal law. Behar & Kalman believes that, oftentimes, problems can best be avoided or solved by anticipating them and planning ahead to address them.
