Whether you are a health care professional proposing to form a new health care facility, modify your existing facility, add a new covered medical service to your practice, or undertake any significant capital expenditure, Dickinson Wright’s Health Care Group can help you navigate the laws governing the health care industry.

As a full-service law firm with offices located across the United States, our lawyers have extensive experience with the administrative law side of health care, and we work closely with our clients to help them obtain the necessary approvals from state agencies in a timely manner.

We assist you at every step of the licensing and approval process, including:

  • Obtaining and managing the Certificate of Need (CON),
  • Facility licensure,
  • State approval,
  • Surveys,
  • Facility accreditation, and
  • Medicare enrollment requirements.

Once the CON has been issued, we work with our clients to ensure they obtain the licensure needed to proceed with their ventures. Additionally, we defend professional licenses against state prosecution and address controversies with state agencies. No matter your health care organization’s goals, the experienced lawyers at Dickinson Wright stand ready to assist you with all your regulatory and licensure needs, so you can focus on growing your practice.
