Legal Counsel for Outpatient Facilities and Ambulatory Care Providers
Ambulatory care facilities, ambulatory surgery centers, urgent care centers and other outpatient facilities have become increasingly popular alternatives to traditional hospital-based care. These facilities and clinics offer patients a more convenient and efficient experience for patients than their hospital counterparts. Additionally, outpatient care avoids the high costs associated with hospital stays and emergency room visits, benefiting both patients and payors.
