Business and Transactional Issues

The law governing contracts, negotiations and other business issues between entities and/or individuals is known as transactional law. Transactions can range from simple facility transport agreements to complex arrangements involving joint ventures, sales of businesses or others, and can require careful and individualized review, drafting, and negotiation of transactional documents, as well as counseling and advice from experienced lawyers. Many transactions require continued support and updating to reflect the evolving relationship between the parties.

PWW's attorneys can help you manage the planning, negotiating, and drafting of all necessary business transactions and documents so you can securely move forward with your business strategies in a fast-moving, competitive healthcare environment.

Compliance

Page, Wolfberg & Wirth assists EMS organizations along the entire spectrum of compliance program development and implementation. We help EMS organizations and Mobile Integrated Healthcare agencies identify problem areas, draft policies and procedures, develop formal compliance plans, train their staff, monitor their programs and help them prevent, detect and resolve problems when they arise.

EMS Operations

With decades of experience in the hands-on delivery, management and billing of emergency medical services, the professionals of PWW work with EMS organizations, ambulance services, Mobile Integrated Healthcare organizations, public safety agencies, and other organizations across the country in improving their operations. We work with clients in drafting and implementing RFPs and proposals, developing internal operating procedures, improving provider documentation through on-site, interactive training and education, configuring their EMS systems for maximum efficiency, and a wide range of other operational issues.

HIPAA, Privacy and Security

Regardless of the type or size of your EMS organization or Mobile Integrated Healthcare agency, HIPAA will pose challenges. PWW can help you perform your required HIPAA risk assessment, implement proper privacy and security policies and procedures, train your workforce, and properly report breaches of patient information when they occur.

Human Resources

From the recruitment process to the termination process and throughout the employment life cycle, our experienced team of legal professionals will guide your EMS agency through the myriad of labor and employment laws that significantly impact all employers (and volunteer agencies) in today’s work environment. From designing compliant employment applications and legally sound interview and hiring processes, to dealing with workplace discrimination and legal issues, to helping EMS agencies deal with union organizing campaigns and collective bargaining, to termination and employee separation issues, PWW covers all the bases for the wide range of HR issues facing EMS agencies today.

Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH)

PWW works with agencies that provide Mobile Integrated Healthcare services. We help our clients negotiate and draft agreements with hospitals, ACOs and others. We also counsel our clients on the legal issues regarding the implementation of Community Paramedicine (CP) programs, including scope of practice and liability issues. In addition, we help our clients structure their MIH programs to be compliant with federal laws such as the Anti-Kickback Statute, to ensure that arrangements between healthcare entities do not run afoul of these important healthcare fraud and abuse statutes.

Revenue Cycle Performance

Your business’s revenue cycle is the process of converting billing for ambulance services to eventual cash revenue. From call intake to provider documentation, to capturing required signatures, to proper code and modifier selected, to claim submission, remittance and posting, to denials, appeals, audits, overpayments and refunds, PWW advises its clients on the full range of issues that impact its revenue cycle. We help clients measure important performance parameters (Key Performance Indicators) for both billing and compliance. We also perform billing and compliance assessments and help our clients re-engineer their billing office processes for maximum efficiency.
