United States
In my capacity, I govern the organization’s legal strategy, compliance framework, and privacy and regulatory programs to promote scalable and compliant organizational growth. I reduce enterprise legal exposure by competently serving as the organization’s legal counsel and advising executive leadership on governance, operations, contracting, and enterprise risk. I also strengthen contractual protections by drafting, reviewing, and negotiating complex service agreements, professional agreements, administrative services agreements, and amendments. My work centers on securing audit readiness by leading compliance, privacy, and regulatory programs across all service lines and entities. I standardize organizational practices by developing and implementing written policies and procedures governing privacy, data security, risk management, and compliance operations. With my key performance, I enhance privacy protections by overseeing HIPAA compliance programs, including minimum necessary standards, access controls, breach response, and PHI lifecycle management. My duties and accomplishments include the following: ✓ Enabled compliant service expansion by ensuring compliance with the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS), Stark Law, Fraud, Waste and Abuse laws, physician compensation rules, and state practice-of-medicine requirements through structured service-line arrangements. ✓ Improved financial predictability by providing legal guidance on financial issues, including revenue models, reimbursement structures, and accounts-receivable considerations. ✓ Established the company’s first formal compliance program by drafting and implementing 20 privacy policies and 15 security policies aligned with HIPAA, NIST, and industry best practices. ✓ Successfully launched a comprehensive Compliance and Privacy Handbook for 250+ workforce members with user-friendly summaries of key policies and reporting channels. ✓ Structured 15+ Master Service Agreements and 30+ Business Associate Agreements.
