The Challenges Healthcare Providers Can Face in New York

As of 2024, there were 79,467 physicians in the state of New York, and doctors can face many unique challenges when dealing with compliance and other work-related issues. The HHS Office of Inspector General reported more than $7.13 billion in expected recoveries and receivables from investigations and audits during FY 2024, highlighting the government’s continued focus on healthcare oversight and enforcement.

HIPAA compliance issues can quickly draw government scrutiny and possible investigations. Anyone working with patients must comply with this federal law by protecting the identities of these patients and complying with other steps. In 2024, the OCR received 74,299 reports of data breaches involving 500 people or fewer. The largest data breaches affected 242,908,056 individuals. 

Healthcare providers may also face challenges from:

• Audits
• Payor disputes
• Disciplinary proceedings
• Investigations involving billing practices, documentation, or allegations of misconduct

Even an allegation of regulatory noncompliance can disrupt the day-to-day operations of a medical practice, thereby placing a provider’s reputation at risk. 

How to Prevent Conflicts for Your Healthcare Practice?

Conflicts can arise in healthcare settings for many reasons. While not every risk can be prevented, steps can be taken to greatly reduce the risk that your medical practice will face serious accusations or legal challenges. One of the most effective ways to prevent disputes is to work with experienced healthcare counsel before problems arise. 

Weiss Zarett Brofman Sonnenklar & Levy, P.C., advises physicians, medical practices, and healthcare organizations on a wide range of matters, including:

• Healthcare compliance
• Contract review
• Medical staff issues
• Payor disputes
• Practice group disagreements

Our lawyers can take the time to review your founding documents, existing contracts, and other aspects of your medical practice before advising you on risk-mitigation steps. 

Whether your main concern is preventing HIPAA compliance issues, contractual disputes, or other potential challenges, our legal team can learn about your business before providing you with a detailed account of our services and how they can reduce your liabilities. Disputes are not preventable, and our law firm also provides results-driven legal support that can protect your interests and long-term goals.

Whether your practice is located in Jackson Heights, Corona, Astoria, or another neighborhood in the area, a New York healthcare attorney can either address an ongoing conflict or help you prepare for future risks and conflicts.
