He represents a wide array of clients in the health industry, both on the provider side (including multihospital systems and individual hospitals of all sizes, correctional healthcare providers, long-term care facilities and nursing homes, and physician groups), and on the payor side (including managed care companies, HMOs, and prepaid health service plans).

He is active in health industry mergers and acquisitions, and the establishment of joint ventures and other collaborative affiliations. In the regulatory area, he counsels clients in connection with corporate compliance and corporate governance, fraud and abuse, hospital-medical staff issues (including medical staff disputes), HIPAA, and Medicare/Medicaid matters.

He regularly counsels institutions and teaching programs throughout the country on compliance with ACGME and Residency Review Committee (RRC) requirements, and medical schools on compliance with LCME standards. His accreditation clients include many prestigious medical schools and academic medical centers as well as other teaching institutions across the United States. Andy works with these clients on their periodic reviews, and represents them when necessary to rebut adverse evaluations, including handling ACGME and LCME administrative hearings.

Andy also counsels educational institutions at all levels, including secondary schools, colleges and universities and graduate and professional schools. He also had a significant practice representing not-for-profit and tax-exempt organizations on a broad range of matters, including executive compensation analyses for purposes of demonstrating an organization's compliance with the Intermediate Sanctions regulations of the Internal Revenue Service.
