I have been practicing medicine over 20 years. Thankfully, today I have a busy and successful private practice in surgery, with sub-specialty in wound care, which means I deal mostly with Medicare patients. In the Summer of 2019, I was a subject of a large scale CMS audit, with over 40 patient charts involved, with the CMS refusing to pay out those claims at the same time. It was very upsetting and disheartening to experience this kind of treatment from the payors, when I work hard daily and diligently for the oldest, sickest and most vulnerable of our community patients.

I was introduced to Ms. Lorraine Rosado esq, who calmly explained the situation involved and how to respond to this Medicare audit. Because of her expertise, we won our case in the first level of the Medicare appeals process. All of the claims were paid out eventually, which I confirmed with our biller.

I had an initial phone consultation with  Robert Liles. He patiently listened to the case and provided very insightful comments. He has tremendous experience in his field and it was clearly evident. Even though he did not charge for this consultation, he did not appear to be in a rush to finish the call. Best of all, he was very candid and advised me that I did not need his services at this time and offered help at a more appropriate point of time in the future.
I would wholeheartedly recommend him on health law matters.

Whatever legal troubles you may be having, or maybe its not troubles but you need legal advice concerning an acquisition, you really need to contact these great folks.

Seriously, call them, don't wait till the last minute, don't put this off, get them on the phone. They can help you, It is well worth it to save yourself the stress and the uncertainty of having to do this on your own. Call them.

Ismail Laher also spent a lot of his time on the phone and by email with me. He helped me flesh out my thoughts and gave a me a very sympathetic ear. Definitely a decent bunch of folks.

It has been my great fortune to work with several attorneys at Liles Parker, PLLC for more than a dozen years in the delivery of healthcare compliance programs for medical office professionals across the nation. From one-hour webinar trainings to a comprehensive compliance officer certification course and exam designed to meet the needs of individual and small group practices, this team of healthcare attorneys consistently delivers pertinent and up-to-date details on compliance issues for healthcare providers and other practice leaders.

I cannot say enough good things about Robert Liles. He successfully represented our company in a Medicare audit (due to technical errors) and was able to resolve every line item. Robert Liles made himself available when we needed to speak to him and was very diligent in his work. He interpreted letters, rules and proceedings in verbiage we could understand. I would recommend Robert Liles to anyone in need of representation.

I work for a training institute that helps physicians and their staffs run more productive and compliant medical clinics. I have had the pleasure to work with Robert Liles and his team of attorneys and legal experts for about 15 years at our national conferences for medical office professionals. He is a renowned healthcare compliance attorney and popular presenter. I am always impressed at the time he takes to answer attendee questions one-on-one after his sessions.

I have been using Liles Parker for managing all legal and compliance matters arising in our clinical laboratory. The range of expertise is broad. They have helped me with company formation, regulatory licensing, developing a comprehensive compliance plan, setting up medical billing and many day to day questions. From the beginning, I have been extremely impressed with their efficiency, common sense approach and wealth of experience. It is kind of funny that I will call Jennifer Papa(Papapanagiotou) with a question and she will reply "I just worked on this issue with another client, and here is what is important.....

I want to take this opportunity to thank you, thank Mr. Robert Liles and Mr. Ismail Laher who has (been) exceptionally kind and gracious towards me in guiding and advising me. Your professionalism has been exceptional…….I will make sure that I spread the word around about your office and how wonderful all you folks are.
We were introduced to Liles Parker through the American Medical Billing Association (AMBA). And through AMBA, the attorneys generously give their time and share their knowledge via free monthly compliance webinars. They are very responsive to questions and concerns. Robert Liles , their Managing Member, was instrumental in the creation of our Compliance Plan. His wealth of knowledge and in-depth experience is invaluable to any Covered Entity or Business Associate. Mr. Liles also co-founded Exclusion Screening, LLC, which gives Providers and Business Associates an easy and inexpensive solution to the screening of employees, providers, and contractors/sub-contractors/vendors against the exclusion of federal and state health care programs. Although all the Liles Parker attorneys that we have interacted with have been very nice and helpful, Mr. Liles is our favorite. I highly recommend the law firm of Liles Parker.

Needing a lawyer is never fun - However, Ashley Hudson at L&P made the experience as comfortable as could be expected. When I needed a healthcare attorney with knowledge, experience and the ability to text back in a timely fashion I found Liles Parker to be more than qualified - they were excellent. Could I have found a cheaper option? Maybe- but there are a few things you never cut corners on: toilet paper and lawyers... I couldn't recommend them any higher..

Medicare / Federal

While each client and each case of the firm is unique, we are setting out below a representative sampling of some of the types of matters Liles parker (LP) has successfully handled. Names, Location, and specific details have been omitted or changed to preserve client identity. (Please be aware that any success in a previous case is no guarantee of a successful outcome in a a future success)

  • EXTRAPOLATION  - LP received a QIC decision involving E/M extrapolated hospital services. Out of 70 claims, we won all but 3! Since the UPIC is AdvanceMed, we expect the extrapolation to be thrown out in its entirely. This was a “bet the farm” case for the client and L delivered a solid victory just in time for Christmas.
  • CHIRO ENROLLMENT - LP successfully defended chiropractic practice in Medicare enrollment dispute with CMS.
  • REVOCATION over "Direct Supervision"-  HK had a great win in a highly complex, long-fought Medicare Revocation Case. Here’s the facts: a licensed clinical psychologist, provided counseling and psychotherapy services to nursing home patients. The patients were a mix of Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. Dr. X also supervised a licensed professional counselor (LPC), whose services were billed as incident to Dr. X’s. Health Integrity performed data mining and considered the number of services billed by Dr. X to be high. A team of Health Integrity investigators interviewed Dr. X. and her LPC, allegedly because they were trying to fine-tune some algorithms that could help Health Integrity identify true fraudulent billing but not sweep in providers who billing a high number of services yet billing appropriately. After the interviews, Health Integrity revoked Dr. X’s Medicare billing privileges on the grounds that she improperly allowed the LPC to utilize her Medicare billing number by not providing “direct supervision”. The matter was eventually appealed to an ALJ, and CMS filed a motion for summary judgment. The key issue seemed to be that Health Integrity (and CMS) was applying an unnecessarily strict definition of “direct supervision”, almost seeming to require that Dr. X be in the same room as the LPC while she was providing the incident to services. The ALJ found in our favor, rescinding the Medicare billing privileges revocation, ruling that the documentation we submitted clearly supported a finding that Dr. X has properly supervised the LPC.
  • HOME HEALTH - LP argued multiple adverse home health claim determinations before Administrative Law Judges and received favorable decisions
  • CHIRO EXTRAPOLATION - LP successfully challenged extrapolated Medicare overpayment claim for a chiropractic clinic
  • PROBE & EDUCATE AUDIT - LP has been with working with a long-time home health agency and just received a call from Palmetto regarding the client’s Probe and Educate audit. With L persistence, the client tracked down all of the information she identified as missing and just found out that 100% of the claims have been deemed favorable!
  • HOME HEALTH EXTRAPOLATION - LP had HUGE win in this home health case. The original over payment was $3.3 million. We successfully argued that the extrapolation was defective and got it thrown out at the REDETERMINATION LEVEL! The client’s over payment is now only $26,000. (This is yet another example of the need to get involved in cases at the earliest possible moment so that any and all defenses can be asserted.)
  • HOSPICE ZPIC AUDIT - L successfully  handled another post-payment ZPIC audit. In this case, LP were brought in to represent the client after the hospice had unsuccessfully handled the first level of appeal and had lost all 29 claims. The ZPIC originally denied the claims on the basis that there was evidence (based on beneficiary interviews) that they were not rendered. When the MAC issued the redetermination appeal decision, it denied the claims on MULTIPLE bases, citing reasons far beyond those cited by the ZPIC. L challenged the redetermination, pointed out the fact that under SE1521, Limiting the Scope of Review on Redetermination and Reconsideration (effective on redetermination and reconsideration decisions after 08/01/15), the MAC was prohibited from looking beyond the scope of the ZPIC’s denial reasons. After getting the MAC to reopen the decision, she quickly worked with the client to obtain declaration statements from the beneficiaries (with witness signatures) affirming that the services were, in fact, provided. The MAC tried to block the declarations but Lorraine prevailed. As a result, when faced with only the denial reasons cited by the ZPIC, the MAC overturned each of the denials and ruled that 100% of the claims qualified for coverage and payment.
  • POST PAYENT AUDIT - LR successfully handled a post-payment audit by SafeGuard Services. In this case, LP was brought in to represent the client when the initial Request for Records was issued by SafeGuard Services. We assisted the client in “putting their best foot forward” so to speak, L succeeded in showing the ZPIC that there was no reason to pursue an overpayment in this case. Once again, this shows the importance of getting involved in a case as early possible BEFORE an overpayment assessment has been issued.
  • DENTISTRY AUDIT  - LP represented dental practice before the State Board of Dentistry to demonstrate compliance with state regulations

Peer Review/Board

  • VIRGINIA BOARD OF MEDICINE - LP  successfully represented various providers, including ophthalmologists, physician assistants, and pain management physicians before the Virginia Board of Medicine
  • PHARMACIST OPOID ABUSE - LP has handled close to a dozen medical and nursing board cases arising out of opioid issues and / or prescribing practices. The most recent case involved a pharmacist who turned in our client (a Physician’s Assistant) to the Virginia Board of Medicine due to the pharmacist’s concerns about our client’s prescribing practices. LP had case dismissed, with no disciplinary action against our client.
  • VIRGINIA PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS BOARD - PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT - AM was able to get case dismissed by the Virginia Board based on a comprehensive written answer from each of the Respondents, without the need for an in-person interview or a formal hearing. This is especially impressive when you take into account the fact that these cases were PAIN MANAGEMENT cases.
  • PEER REVIEV -  EMERGENCY MEDICINE -  LP successfully settled patient abandonment allegations filed against an emergency room physician with a large hospital center’s Peer Review Committee
  • PAIN MEDICATION - VIRGINIA BOARD - AM handled a pain medication complaint filed with the Virginia Board against a  Physician Assistant. A was able to show the Board that the allegations were without merit.  As a result, she knocked out the case without having to have even an informal hearing!
  • SELF PRESCRIBING - JP and RL represented a physician whose medical license was temporarily suspended by the Board last May due to alleged self-prescribing/substance abuse/mental health issues. LP counseled the physician about the Board’s procedure in suspension cases and regarding the proactive steps he could take to demonstrate he was addressing his substance abuse and mental health issues in order to regain his license (i.e., psychiatric supervision, AA/NA meetings, drug testing, etc.), all of which he implemented. After waiting almost four months for a hearing, J represented the physician  in an “Informal Show Compliance Conference” (ISC). In advance of the conference, she submitted evidence including a letter from the physician’s psychiatrist summarizing the progress made by the patient since the suspension. Under J’s superb and steady guidance, the physician did a fine job at the hearing and the ISC panel recommended an Agreed Order that will restore the physician’s license upon approval by the full medical board subject to a probationary period, drug and alcohol testing, psychiatric supervision, counseling, this, that, chicken fat. . . . . etc. . . . .The physician may petition the medical board to relax the terms of the agreed order after twelve months. The client was very pleased that he will be allowed to return to practice soon and is committed to continuing his recovery and meeting the requirements of the Agreed Order.

State / Medicaid

  • RADIOLGY - LP resolved a Medicaid exclusion action for a radiology provider
  • PAIN MANAGEMNT -  LP represented pain management physician before the State Board of Medicine in license termination action - favorable result.
  • PAIN MANAGEMENT MASACHUSETTTS BOARD (2022) MSC represented a pain management physician in  in connection with a State Medical Board investigation.  The State Medical Board has closed their inquiry into our client’s conduct, with no disciplinary action taken
  • DEA - FALSE STATEMENT TO MEDICAID (2021) MM and RL  represented a Tennessee Nurse Practitioner who had taken a Felony Alford Plea in Virginia State Court to the offense of “False Statement to Medicaid.”  As a result of the felony plea, our client was excluded from participation in Federal health care benefit programs.  His license to practice was temporarily suspended by one of the State Nursing Boards where he was licensed.  His Nurse Practitioner license was subsequently reinstated.Based on the felony plea and the exclusion action, the DEA sought to revoke our client’s DEA Registration Number.  We opposed the government’s motion and ultimately took the case through the contested hearing process (discovery, live witnesses, in-person hearing before an DOJ Administrative Law Judge).  We  learned that the DEA Acting Administrator ruled in our client’s favor in a DEA Registration Revocation case . The decision will be published in the Federal Register shortly.

ALJ Hearings

  • HOME HEALTH TX - (2022) A prevailed in an ALJ hearing for one of our home health clients in TX.  In  addition to winning a number of the claims, that the ALJ also found that the statistical sampling methodology was invalid and set aside the extrapolated overpayment. This client, who has been awaiting an ALJ hearing since 2016, is absolutely thrilled!! The extrapolated overpayment which was over $4.8 million will now be reduced to $72,618.
  • PARTIAL HOSPITLIZATION - (2022)M represented a partial hospitalization program provided in an ALJ hearing.  The client had received a 100% denial rate for these claims at the initial records submission and each previous level of appeal.  After presenting her arguments in support of payment, the ALJ determined that all 30 of the services were medically reasonable and necessary and thus qualified for payment. (This case was not extrapolated).
  • OVERPAYMENT (2022) M represented a home health provider in an extrapolated overpayment case.  She presented arguments contesting the extrapolation and the ALJ determined that the statistical sample was invalid. In addition, 15 of the 19 claims were found favorable as well by the ALJ. One of the most common reasons the claims were determined to be favorable was because the ALJ determined that the overpayment letters were not timely provided to the agency. The majority of the services were rendered in 2014 but the audit results were not sent to the provider until 2019.
  • OVERPAYMENT -- An Administrative Law Judge, the overpayment was lowered to approximately $53,000, a huge reduction from the initial alleged overpayment being sought by the government.
  • HOSPICE OVERPAYMENT (2022) LR has been handling a large Illinois hospice overpayment.  The hospice agency was assessed a Medicare overpayment of approximately $2 million. L was initially successful in having the extrapolation invalidated, LR was then able to effectively show the ALJ that ALL 39 claims should be paid. The bottom line is that she reduced the alleged overpayment from $2 million to ZERO.
  • OVERPAYMENT (2021) LR represented a chiro-owned multidisciplinary practice that was assessed an extrapolated overpayment of $2,631,680.75.  She aggressively challenged the extrapolation imposed in the case and utilized o showed that the methodology employed was flawed.  The ALJ  dismissed the extrapolation and the original overpayment has now been reduced to $3,888.48.  

Revalidation

  • urology revalidation - A urology group had an issue with the revalidation of its Medicare enrollment that resulted in a 6 day gap in billing privileges. LP handled the second level enrollment appeal and  successfully negotiated the elimination of the 6 day gap and the the physician group recovered approximately $80K in Medicare revenue. The takeaway is that where there is a gap in Medicare billing privileges, it is often worth the while to appeal those and try to get the gap reduced or eliminated.
  • CHIRO REVALIDATION - A chiropractic group in  had issues with its Medicare revalidation application that resulted in a gap in billing privileges. We were engaged to handle the appeal. LP successfully negotiated a reduction in the billing privilege gap by half.

Other

  • VACCINE MANDATE EXEMPTION  - MC and MM have succeeded in obtaining the first settlement of its kind to provide a psychologist an exemption for a medical reason from the District of Columbia’s vaccine mandate for licensing health care workers, provided that she practices solely by telehealth.  Specifically, the District has a vaccine mandate that provides for exemptions for religious and medical reasons, but not for telehealth.  While the District was in the process of settling a case for a psychologist who had sought an exemption to practice telehealth on the basis of a deeply held religious belief, to the best of our knowledge, it had not done so on the basis of a request on medical bases, and had, in fact, won all administrative appeals to date brought on that basis.MM’s client had been denied an exemption on January 27 and was given 5 days to get vaccinated or cease practice on DC residents.  MC and MM filed an administrative appeal, and MM l used his extensive  knowledge of how to structure and appeal to distinguish his client’s circumstances from others, and what could and could not fit be accepted a public policy and common sense solutions that the government could accept and still achieve its objectives, to resolve the issue favorably for the client.
  • PRO BONO - As many of you may be aware, LP has handled several pro bono cases in recent years involving students suffering from learning and / or physical disabilities that have not been afforded statutorily-mandated accommodations by their school district.  We were asked to assist a young student from North Carolina who had been diagnosed with XXXXXXXX. The school was denying the student the right to excused absences and reduced workload as they did not believe the surgeries had affected the student’s cognitive abilities. Our own MM took on this herculean task. She attended the IEP meeting and helped arrange for a social worker from the children’s hospital to attend the meeting and explain the long term affects the cancer (and associated chemo treatment) would have on the student’s brain. She also helped arrange for letters to be submitted from the student’s physician to clarify the details of the cancer and why the requested accommodations were necessary. Thanks to M’s fine work, all of this student’s needs and medical accommodations were met by the school! As the student’s mother wrote: "Since that meeting [my child’s] grades have increased drastically on tests especially in History. [My child’s] teacher's are more helpful with [my child] and [my child’s] work. [My child] actually made A B honor roll and is sooo excited! A lot of that is due to you all having our backs and doing what was best for [my child].”

“Thank you again for all your help and assistance with making this IEP . . . It means the world to us to have amazing people like you behind him pushing for [my child’s rights].”

  • EXCLUDING LOST PROFITS AS SPECIAL DAMAGES -LR won a hard fought Motion for Summary Judgment in a TX District Court (a heretofore unknown feat as far as we can tell), to exclude lost profits as special damages in one of his physician cases.
  • REGISTRATION ISSUE - MC succeeded in overturning the revocation of a Radiologic Technologists registration with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).  In the middle of COVID, our client failed to complete her annual registration with the registry’s sister trade association. In March of this year, she discovered her mistake when her weekend employer discovered that her registration had been cancelled, and after her first two level appeals at ARRT were denied, she was terminated from her weekend employment and threatened with the loss of her full-time employment if she could not have her registration reinstated.

    At that point, she contacted M.  M spoke with the Registry’s outside counsel who informed Michael that they would need to appeal directly to the Board of Trustees of the organization with additional facts that had not previously been presented.  M worked with the client and her employer to prepare a comprehensive third level appeal, and was recently notified that the client’s appeal was granted.  Because of the client’s economic status, the hardship that would be created if she was required to retake the exam which would have required her to lose her current full-time employment for at least several months, and his outrage at the manner in which ARRT was treating this front line health care worker in the midst of the pandemic, M refused to take a fee, and handled the matter pro bono. Needless to say the client is both ecstatic and relieved, as are her employers.
