About

Healthcare is one of the most intricate and constantly changing areas of the law. Foley Hoag has a unique team of healthcare lawyers and healthcare specialists with decades of experience in statutory and regulatory analysis, compliance, government investigations, litigation and corporate transactions. Most of our lawyers and healthcare policy specialists have had a direct hand in shaping virtually every healthcare law and regulation enacted over the past four decades, including:

• The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010
• The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003
• The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997
• The Balanced Budget Act of 1997
• The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
• Budget reconciliation laws of the 1980’s

We have developed this blog specifically on Medicaid as it is one of the most complicated and least understood areas of healthcare law. That said, Medicaid is also, by far, the largest health insurance payer in the United States and has even surpassed Medicare in terms of the number of enrollees. Medicaid is a crucial component in America’s health care system.

Our focus will include:

• Medicaid coverage and reimbursement issues for innovative pharmaceutical products
• Legal, regulatory and strategic advice for Medicaid mental health providers and payers
• Medicaid waivers
• State coverage of the Medicaid expansion population
• State-specific Medicaid issues
• Medicaid financing
• Medicaid and long-term care
