Information Technology is a bright spot
in the slumping economy. The recent
stimulus package signed into law in

privacy and data standards. Our

industry. We advise

business and tax issues regularly faced
by healthcare information technology (HIT)
companies.
We regularly advise HIT companies

as HIPAA, Stark law and Anti-kickback
laws that are unique to the healthcare
industry.
