Health Care Insolvency, Restructuring and Bankruptcy Issues
Insolvency, restructuring and bankruptcy issues in the health care industry can present many unique legal challenges. In addressing these issues for clients over the years, members of Krieg DeVault’s Creditors’ Rights & Bankruptcy Practice Group have represented hospitals; lenders to and lessors of health care facilities, including skilled nursing and senior living facilities; parties to contracts with such entities; and other parties which are affected by insolvencies and bankruptcies in the health care industry, including financial institutions, physicians and other medical professionals, and healthcare suppliers. Krieg DeVault also has represented parties seeking to buy assets out of health care bankruptcies. Pursuing successful outcomes in such matters requires professionals who not only know bankruptcy and insolvency law, but also have access to knowledge and experience regarding Medicare and Medicaid provider regulation, health care reimbursement, health care licensure, and Stark law; in addressing these issues, we work with our colleagues in Krieg DeVault's Health Care Practice Group.
