Healthcare Law

As counsel to over 80 skilled nursing and assisted living facilities throughout New Jersey, Lite DePalma Greenberg & Rivas attorneys ensure that our clients' needs are met in a variety of areas. Among the firm's clients are some of the nation's largest providers of long term care.

LDGR attorneys are experienced in matters ranging from Medicaid eligibility, including Medicaid appeals through the administrative law process, to Medicare issues arising in a skilled nursing setting. The firm's healthcare clients rely on LDGR for legal advice regarding billing practices, resident discharge proceedings and state and federal regulatory compliance concerning admission agreements.

The firm handles a significant volume of accounts receivable collection for our healthcare clients. LDGR attorneys consistently collect millions of dollars in private revenue each year.

In addition, LDGR files numerous guardianship applications concerning persons who reside in our clients' healthcare facilities but, due to their physical or mental condition, need a legal representative to handle their medical and financial affairs. LDGR attorneys also work in conjunction with the State Ombudsman's Office for the Institutionalized Elderly in investigating the financial exploitation of nursing home residents.
