Regulatory

Danielle advises clients on operational and compliance issues, federal and state fraud and abuse laws, including the Stark law, Anti-Kickback Statute and the Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act (as well as state law counterparts), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), and other regulatory matters. 

As a result of her clinical ethics fellowship at the Alden March Bioethics Institute at Albany Medical Center, which she immediately pursued following simultaneously obtaining an M.S. in Bioethics at Albany Medical Center and completing law school, Danielle provides her clients with an uncommon, holistic perspective.

Transactional

Danielle has experience representing health care providers in business transactions, including mergers and acquisitions. She has counseled several health care providers through complex re-organizations and affiliations while navigating various business and regulatory concerns.
