For a time, I was certain I wanted to be a doctor, however an afternoon in high school spent shadowing a physician in the operating room helped me realize that I was not destined for that profession. Still, the experience strengthened my desire to work in the healthcare field in some capacity, and led to a career in which I help healthcare providers navigate the complex legal landscape so they can focus on caring for their patients and the community.
Mr. Kaveney focuses his practice in the area of healthcare law, representing a range of clients that includes for-profit and non-profit hospitals and health systems, academic medical centers, individual physicians and physician groups, ambulatory surgery centers, ancillary service providers, medical billing companies, skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities, behavioral health centers and pharmacies.
His practice in the healthcare field encompasses advising healthcare clients on corporate compliance matters, including the implementation of new, and the assessment of existing, corporate compliance programs. He also assists healthcare clients with compliance audits and investigations, as well as guiding clients through the self-disclosure and repayment processes. Finally, he provides general legal advice concerning compliance and regulatory matters under state and federal healthcare laws.
In the area of information privacy and data security, Mr. Kaveney advises healthcare clients on issues arising under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH). This includes the implementation and assessment of privacy and security policies and procedures to ensure the proper protection and utilization of protected health information both by healthcare providers and the business associates with which they contract. In addition, he represents healthcare clients in investigating, reporting, and remediating information breaches and the liability such breaches create under various information privacy and security laws.
Additionally, Mr. Kaveney provides counsel on Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement matters before the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services and the Provider Reimbursement Review Board, as well as assisting clients in civil litigation and with professional licensing and medical staffing concerns.
