BakerHostetler’s Pharmacy and Reimbursement team is set apart by our in-depth knowledge and real-world experience of the pharmacy industry. One of the few legal teams across the country to have multiple attorneys who are also registered pharmacists or healthcare practitioners, we bring real-world experience with our ability to help resolve legal, practical, and compliance-related issues. We have long-standing experience in advising retail, mail-order, specialty, compounding, and institutional pharmacies, as well as in working with pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), managed care/insurance entities, academic medical centers, and wholesale distributors.
We have a wealth of firsthand knowledge and capabilities for successfully handling matters involving regulatory, reimbursement, or litigation-related issues at both the state and federal levels. Our attorneys have handled matters involving numerous state boards of pharmacy, the Food and Drug Administration, Drug Enforcement Administration, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Health Resource and Services Administration, Office of the Inspector General, and Department of Justice. We use that firsthand knowledge to provide clients with advice tailored to meet real-world needs. We work closely with many different client functions, such as:
- Executive management teams
- Executive legal departments
- Compliance officers
- Pharmacist-in-charges (PICs)
- Reimbursement departments
- Formulary review committees
- Diligence and acquisition teams
- Wholesale distributors
