Compliance

Dallas healthcare Compliance and Regulatory Attorney

In healthcare, compliance is more than a checklist. It’s an ongoing defense strategy. Every HIPAA breach, Stark violation or CMS billing error opens the door to government scrutiny. With DOJ recoveries hitting $6.8B in FY2025 and OIG expanding corporate integrity agreements, Texas providers face rising exposure.

At Dike Law Group we help healthcare businesses through the law, aligning your policies, processes, staff behavior, maintaining compliance with Stark Law as well as federal and Texas state law. If you’ve received an OCR letter or are planning a CHOW deal, now is the time to get compliant.

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Compliance

HIPAA violations don’t just result in fines. They lead to multi-year Resolution Agreements with workforce monitoring. Our healthcare compliance defense attorney helps mitigate breaches, draft enforceable policies and build defensible BAA templates, so you’re prepared long before the OCR comes knocking.

Business Associate Agreements (BAAs

BAAs aren’t optional. They’re foundational. Missing one with a billing vendor or EHR provider is enough to trigger penalties. Our team of healthcare compliance lawyers review, revise and enforce BAA language that matches your workflows and reduces risk.

Responding to DOJ or OIG Inquiries

From subpoenas to settlement discussions, we coordinate legal holds, internal investigations and interview prep. If OIG is calling, your response timeline isn’t generous. We act fast and with precision.

Corporate Integrity and Risk Management Programs

Post-settlement CIAs require board certification, IRO reviews and policy overhauls. We help providers build CIA-style internal programs proactively to avoid becoming tomorrow’s headline.

Provider Licensing and Regulatory Navigation

Licensing delays mean billing delays. Whether you’re opening new locations or onboarding providers, we align your paperwork with state and federal timelines to keep revenue moving.

Billing, Reimbursement and CMS Oversight

Reimbursement is a regulatory minefield. We monitor CMS updates, guide Stark compliance, and help your practice survive audits without losing momentum or money.

Credentialing and Pre-/Post-Credentialing Support in Dallas

Credentialing isn’t just paperwork. It’s your access to payment. One wrong form, missed deadline or CHOW misstep can lead to months of unpaid claims. We handle credentialing support across Texas Medicaid, Medicare and private payers ensuring applications are sequenced, providers are credentialed retroactively when allowed and your team knows exactly what to expect. Credentialing shouldn’t delay your practice. We make sure it doesn’t.

Our process anticipates payer questions, resolves discrepancies early and documents every approval, so billing begins cleanly on day one, cash flow stabilizes faster, staff avoids rework and leadership gains visibility into timelines, risks and contingencies across expanding service lines statewide.

Each CAP typically includes:

A detailed description of the deficiencies or findings
Specific corrective actions to be taken
Assigned responsibilities and timelines
Follow-up verification steps to ensure sustained improvement

Our healthcare compliance attorneys work closely with your credentialing and compliance teams to execute these CAPs effectively—helping your organization maintain regulatory readiness and prevent future issues.

Change of Ownership (CHOW) Transactions

CHOW deals require strategic sequencing to avoid disruption. We manage every compliance trigger which includes licensure, enrollment and payer updates.

Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Guidance

Compensation structures. JV models. And referral agreements must be vetted. We clarify safe harbors, negotiate adjustments and support you through advisory interpretations.

State-Specific Regulatory Guidance
