Neal Shah applies his experience in government, private practice, and health care delivery to help identify practical legal solutions to complex regulatory and transactional problems, including:
- Helping clients comply with the Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, and similar federal and state fraud and abuse laws
- Establishing and operating Accountable Care Organizations and other coordinated care arrangements
- Completing self-disclosures of over payments of fraud and abuse liability, including through the CMS Voluntary Self-Referral Disclosure Protocol (SRDP) and Medicare Administrative Contractor refund processes
- Structuring transactions to avoid or reduce health care compliance concerns
- Navigating delivery system reform efforts, including the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA)
Prior to joining Polsinelli, Neal worked for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), where he contributed to many areas of federal health care policy, including the initial implementation of the SRDP, the Medicare Shared Savings Program, initiatives under the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, and individual market financial management programs under the Affordable Care Act.
