Christina M. Kuta, J.D., LL.M., M.S.W.

I focus my practice in the areas of regulatory and transactional health care, with experience representing physicians and healthcare providers and organizations with a broad spectrum of regulatory and transactional matters, including negotiating and documenting transactions, acquisitions, mergers and sales, joint ventures, integrated delivery systems and other combinations and alliances, employment agreements, recruitment and support agreements, bonus and incentive plans, managed care contracts, physician-hospital organizations, management and other commercial and services agreements and leases for space and equipment, as well as shared overhead arrangements. I routinely provide advice on complex healthcare regulations impacting health care providers and entities, including the Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, Illinois Medical Practice Act, False Claims Act, HIPAA, state self-referral and kickback laws. In addition, I advise clients on compliance with Medicare/Medicaid regulations, such as conditions of participation, coverage, billing, payment, reimbursement, reassignment and supervision, and I have successfully represented a number of clients with respect to both government and private audits and investigations.
