Working in an industry with quickly evolving practice patterns, regulatory environments, and financial pressures, a healthcare organization renovated its facilities to position itself for growth. After completing construction, the organization found itself challenged by new interpretations of Medicare regulations and the Social Security Act.
Formulating a multi-pronged strategy of agency advocacy, regulatory change, U.S. Senate oversight, and litigation, the organization was able to achieve reasonable regulatory guidance from the Department of Health and Human Services that enabled its new facilities to be fully operationalized under the federal and state regulatory regimes.
