Mistakes to avoid when hiring a healthcare lawyer, attorney
When a healthcare
practitioner hires a healthcare attorney, lawyer, he/she is actually exposed
from two sides, if the attorney is not skilled in the practitioner’s areas of
need; first, from the initial issues, associated with the case that brought the
practitioner to seek a healthcare attorney to begin with; i.e., whether the
practitioner needed to hire a
compliance attorney, a peer review attorney, a credentialing
attorney, a DEA attorney, a fraud attorney, a National Practitioner Data Bank
attorney, a Medicare attorney, an OIG attorney, or any other aspect of
healthcare law attorney; and second, the mistakes that the ill equipped
attorney commits when attempting to fix the initial issues.
