Overview
David helps clinics, hospitals, and other health care entities negotiate the maze of health care regulations, providing advice about strategy, reimbursement and compliance.
David is a shareholder in Fredrikson & Byron’s Health Care Group and co-founded its Health Care Fraud & Compliance Group. He has considerable experience in health care regulation and litigation, including voluntary disclosures, criminal and civil fraud investigations, overpayments and reimbursement disputes.
David’s goal is to explain the government’s enforcement position, and to analyze whether this position is supported by the law or represents government overreaching.
David is a frequent guest on RAC Monitor’s “Monitor Mondays,” and you may read his Blog at Orthopedics Today. He has given speeches in 36 states.
