A self-proclaimed “healthcare nerd,” Miriam Swedlow works with health systems, hospitals, and healthcare professionals, helping them to navigate the complex federal and state regulatory framework and find solutions that allow them to focus on providing exceptional care to patients. Miriam’s nursing background gives her the ability to see issues through both a legal and clinical lens. Her fluency in clinical matters and her ability to see things from her client’s perspective allow her to develop solutions that work in the real world.

Miriam has experience with regulatory and litigation matters, including alternative payment models, physician contracting and compensation, False Claims Act, Anti-Kickback, Stark Law, EMTALA, peer review and quality improvement committees, medical staff privileging and complaints, professional licensing and complaints, certificate of need, and healthcare antitrust.
