Stephen Nash has represented health care organizations for more than 30 years. His clients include academic medical centers, hospitals and health systems, health information exchanges, medical groups and other physician organizations, health plans and other managed care organizations, long term care organizations, ancillary health service providers and health care investors.
Mr. Nash counsels these organizations regarding governance, corporate, reimbursement, tax, privacy and security, fraud and abuse, and other regulatory compliance issues. These issues typically arise within the context of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, corporate reorganizations, complex contractual arrangements and other affiliations and collaborative efforts, as well as in connection with tax-exempt revenue and refunding bond issues.
In addition to his transactional and regulatory work, Mr. Nash has over 20 years of experience representing hospitals in single provider and group appeals for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, and serves as a strategic advisor on Medicare, Medicaid and private payer matters such as coverage issues and payment methods.
Mr. Nash also has substantial experience representing health information exchanges, including CORHIO, Colorado’s statewide health information exchange, which he has advised, since its inception, regarding planning, organization, governance, tax-exemption, financing, contracting, and privacy and security matters.
Before joining Patton Boggs, Mr. Nash was a partner in the Denver office of Holme Roberts & Owen LLP, where he chaired the firm’s health care practice and co-chaired the firm’s health care M&A team.
In addition to practicing law, Mr. Nash has also played the role of principal and co-founder of a number of organizations, including a venture-backed renal disease management company, and an early stage venture capital group focused on health care companies. In this connection, he has reviewed or prepared business plans, negotiated terms sheets and deal documents for venture capital and private equity investments, and negotiated and documented the acquisition of platform and subsequent consolidation targets.
Mr. Nash speaks and publishes regularly on topics related to health care law, health information exchanges, corporate governance, clinical integration, collaborative health care ventures and the legal trends influencing the U.S. health care system.
