The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (commonly known as federal health-care reform) significantly will impact Texas lawyers endeavoring to keep their clients informed about key issues and the reform’s effect on their health-care practices and businesses. From compliance to quality improvement to reimbursement, the changes are far-reaching.
Certain aspects of federal health-care reform will lead to additional litigation and administrative hearings for Medicare/Medicaid providers. The health-care overhaul imposes more scrutiny on their practices and their regulatory compliance. The penalties for failure to comply will increase, with new penalty structures developed and existing penalty structures enhanced and increased. Texas lawyers must inform their health-care clients on compliance requirements and be prepared to defend them in compliance hearings and litigation.
