Licensing and Certification

Davis Wright Tremaine attorneys assist health care clients in complying with a broad range of federal and state licensing and certification requirements. We advise clients regarding the state regulation of health facilities, clinics and licensed professionals, and federal Medicare and Medicaid certification.

We counsel clients regarding compliance with a broad array of federal regulatory schemes, including those relating to home health agencies, clinical laboratories, and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). We also assist clients in satisfying accreditation standards developed by bodies such as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) and the National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA). The firm's attorneys also provide guidance with regard to operational requirements applicable to health facilities, including emergency transfer and antidumping laws and antidiscrimination and accessibility laws, such as the Americans With Disabilities Act.
