Healthcare law impacts everyone and is among the largest sectors of our economy. It follows that the law related to healthcare is broad and complex, encompassing a multitude of operational, transactional, scientific, and regulatory legal issues. Health law involves federal and state statutes, regulations, and decisions pertaining to areas such as:
- The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 42 U.S.C. § 18001 et seq. (“PPACA”) (colloquially, “Obamacare”);
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) 42 U.S.C. §§ 300gg 1320d et seq., and 29 U.S.C § 1181 et seq.;
- The Stark Law, 42 U.S.C. § 1395nn;
- The Anti-kickback Statute, 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(b));
- Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1395dd (“EMTALA”);
- Medicare;
- Medicaid (known in Oklahoma as “Soonercare”);
- Medical Malpractice and Wrongful Death;
- Health Insurance Disputes; and
- Advance directives.
