We commonly serve health care entities, and occasionally
their medical staffs directly. Although we may be hired by
the entity, our role is to provide a
valuable resource directly to its physician leaders, who
are primarily responsible for carrying out
responsibilities in credentialing, privileging, peer
review and medical staff management.
We believe our clients are entitled to certain business
practices that promote better relationships and
understanding between us. Our work philosophy
outlines steps that encourage effective communication
and detail our commitment to personal responsibility and
reliability.
Our approach to fees is flexible to meet the
unique demands of our clients. These approaches include
billing at an hourly rate, retainers and project
billing. We are always willing to discuss arrangements
that suit our clients’ needs, budget and convenience.
Our work is rarely performed alone but, rather, in
collaboration with
others. We often supplement the efforts of
in-house lawyers, teaming with them for the benefits of
an extra hand where they may lack the time to do all
their medical staff work. Law firms that have conflicts
of interest may also find us a useful resource. And we
also team up with consultants to help their clients
where medical staff assistance supplements other work of
their engagement.
