Ryan B. Thurber

Health care providers of all types face unique challenges presented by an extremely complex and ever-changing regulatory environment. Ryan’s practice focuses on helping clients achieve their business objectives in a manner that clears these regulatory hurdles and allows providers to do what they do best: care for their patients. Ryan’s practice with Polsinelli focuses on:

• Resolving complex regulatory compliance issues to promote clients’ business, patient care, and community goals, including development of compliance plans, policies, and procedures, navigating Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement and enrollment questions, provider-based facility operational compliance, and health care fraud and abuse review (Stark Law, AKS, CMP, and state-specific laws);

• Responding to government and third party investigations, audits, subpoenas, and other inquiries, including overpayment demands, Provider Reimbursement Review Board appeals, Medicare and Medicaid certification, enrollment, and reimbursement disputes, and state licensure issues; and

• Developing, structuring, and implementing provider-focused business arrangements, including physician contracting and alignment initiatives, corporate practice of medicine compliance, professional and facility licensure, and other organizational and operational strategies to meet client business objectives, grow operations, and provide valuable services to the provider’s communities.
