Waller Lansden has represented Long Term Acute Care Hospitals (LTACHs) since the emergence of the "hospital within a hospital" in the late 1990s. Our attorneys assist in establishing LTACHs in compliance with federal and state regulations and provide counsel on the unique compliance issues that impact these facilities, such as licensing, permitting and purchasing requirements, maintaining administrative and staff independence from the host hospital, Medicare reimbursement issues, and referral patterns which influence the purchase of ancillary services from the host hospital.
