Of Counsel

Amy Lerman helps health care organizations navigate complex regulatory, compliance, and commercial issues. Clients turn to her for practical guidance on health care fraud and abuse, corporate compliance, reimbursement, government investigations, and digital health strategy.

With nearly two decades of experience, Amy advises hospitals and academic medical systems, provider practices, durable medical equipment suppliers, telehealth companies, private equity firms, and other health care stakeholders on a wide range of regulatory and business matters. She counsels clients responding to government investigations, audits, and allegations involving false claims, fraud, and other noncompliant conduct. Amy brings hands-on experience advising clients on federal and state health care regulatory requirements, Anti-Kickback Statute risks, and Stark Law compliance issues. She also assists organizations with voluntary self-disclosures to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

Amy also advises clients on how to translate regulatory requirements into practical business strategies that support growth and operational goals. A significant part of her practice focuses on digital health and telehealth, where she works with companies on organizational structuring, business development, regulatory strategy, and expansion across jurisdictions. She helps clients respond to policy and reimbursement developments, manage risk, and build strategies that support long-term growth in an evolving market.
