Healthcare Law

Healthcare Law

The healthcare industry is governed by a constantly evolving framework of federal, state, and local regulations. At Merrell & McDuff, we help providers and patients navigate these complexities with practical, up-to-date legal guidance. Whether you're operating a medical practice or seeking clarity on patient rights, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Legal Guidance for Providers

Healthcare professionals face increasing scrutiny when it comes to licensing, liability, and compliance. Our attorneys assist medical practices, clinics, and individual providers with:

• Regulatory compliance and risk management

• Licensing and credentialing

• Professional liability and malpractice prevention

• HIPAA compliance and patient data protection

• Operational policies and documentation

• Informed consent and standard of care review

We stay current on the latest developments in healthcare law to ensure your practice is protected and in full compliance.

Advocacy for Patients

Patients have legal rights related to their care, privacy, and autonomy. We help individuals understand and protect those rights, including:

• Medical consent and informed decision-making

• Confidentiality and access to records

• Patient-provider disputes and complaints

• Billing and insurance conflicts

Our team is committed to ensuring fair treatment and lawful medical practices on both sides of the healthcare relationship.
