Yes, I offer a free 20-minute consultation to discuss your specific needs.
As a solo practitioner, I keep my overhead low and offer competitive rates. We can discuss flexible fee arrangements and flat rates during your consultation.
Very few healthcare attorneys have both government and private sector attorney experience. Even fewer healthcare attorneys are both an attorney and a clinician. This wide ranging and diverse experience provides Maureen with unique and valuable insights that can help you efficiently and effectively deal with current issues, or better yet, avoid issues altogether.
Maureen West & Associates, LLC is a small law firm that takes the time to get to know you and how your practice operates. Our goal is to build a long term, lasting relationship. As a clinician herself, Maureen understands how special the provider/patient relationship is and she strives to bring that same level of trust to her client relationships.
Since healthcare is the most regulated industry in the United States, there are numerous laws that impact your practice. Oftentimes, wrong information is passed around and then a provider finds out the hard way that they are not compliant. Just as all healthcare providers are not alike, not all attorneys are alike either. To meet the specific challenges you face as a healthcare practitioner, you need a healthcare attorney who understands what you do and how to best protect your practice by adhering to federal, state and local regulations. Also, as a previous Colorado Assistant Attorney General who spent years reviewing complaints about providers, I can advise on how to stay compliant and avoid board interaction.
My practice is virtual which allows me to handle cases throughout the state. Healthcare providers are busy people and appreciate not having to deal with the expenses and time needed for travel.
There are many situations where a healthcare attorney is valuable and frequently essential. Here are a few examples:
* You’re starting a new healthcare practice and need help with business and compliance regulations.
* You have been required to respond to a complaint from the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA).
* You need help reviewing or negotiating contracts with employees, vendors or landlords.
* You have questions about HIPAA, record destruction, patient forms, insurance contracts or other issues related to your practice.
