Austin Telemedicine Attorney

Legal Support for Digital Health Groups

Doris Dike has experience helping health tech companies and clinics with problems that come up when practicing medicine online. Our work for these businesses includes several areas.

Checking Your Telemedicine Compliance Status

A big part of staying safe is knowing exactly which rules apply to your specific setup. While some laws apply to everyone, you need to look at your own business to see your unique risks. We work with you to look at your operations and see how you are experiencing rules in areas like:

• Programs for low income care
• Medical billing and coding
• Getting proper patient consent
• Marketing your virtual services
• Doctor contracts and sharing fees
• Keeping patient data private
• Checking in new patients

Beyond just the medical side, we look at other needs like insurance and staff issues to help you lower the chance of a lawsuit or a fine.

Building a Telemedicine Compliance Plan

Once we know what your company needs, we start writing the policies your team will follow every day. These plans will match your specific risks so your employees can actually use them. It is important to have a plan made just for you because the government does not like to see the same basic document used for every company. They want to see that you are thinking about your own patients. Doris Dike has helped many companies create these rules so they can stand up to a review from state or federal officials.

Setting Up and Teaching Your Compliance Program

A great plan does not help much if it just stays in a folder on your computer. Using the plan is the part many people forget, but it is the most important part. We help our clients put their programs into action. This might mean rewriting your vendor contracts or adding new security to your software. We also help teach your staff so they know what they need to do to follow the law while they work.

Watching and Enforcing Your Internal Rules

Digital health companies have to keep an eye on their own work all the time. You need to find mistakes before they turn into big problems. This means you have to be ready to correct errors and show the government that you take the rules seriously. These steps take a lot of time and a deep understanding of employment law. Most offices do not have the extra time to do this alone. We provide help with managing these rules and watch for new court cases that might mean you need to change your manual.

Basic Business and Medical Rules

We also help with general legal needs for your company. From making sure your business structure protects your personal money to handling HIPAA privacy rules, there is a lot to think about. We take a personal approach here as well because every business has different goals. When you work with Dike Law Group, you can feel good knowing you have the facts to make smart choices.

Defending Your Business During Investigations

Helping you follow the rules is only one part of what we do. We also stand by business owners if the state or federal government starts asking questions. We have experience dealing with groups like the Texas Medical Board and federal investigators. You have to act fast if you get a letter from an agency. If they think patients are at risk or money was handled wrong, they move very quickly. An attorney from our firm can step in to slow things down, get the facts, and work on a plan to finish the matter quietly.

Supporting Companies that Help Patients and Providers

Digital health companies are a huge part of how people get care now. We work with companies that serve patients directly and provide healthcare providers with applications, services, and support through telemedicine practices. The digital and mobile health companies we represent work with healthcare providers, including:

• Hospitals and large clinics
• Mental health offices
• Small doctor offices
• Clinics in small towns
• Emergency care centers

Because we only work in healthcare law, we know what it takes to stay safe in every part of the industry.
