Thirty-five years ago, health care law as a distinct practice area
for attorneys did not exist. Those who regularly advised clients
on real estate, commercial and organizational matters, would occasionally
represent a physician. There were no HMO's, PPO's, HIPAA regulations,
Stark regulations, HPSA's, anti-trust considerations, Safe Harbor
rules, complex Medicare regulation…. Since that time, the health
care industry has undergone tremendous changes due to managed care
initiatives, aggressive competition, governmental regulation, and
technology.
Jeff Kinney has had the advantage of seeing all of these changes
occur first hand in the course of his continuing representation
for over 35 years. During that time, he has worked closely with
physician group practices and physician office practices in Evansville
and southwestern Indiana, as well as the competitive offspring of
those practices such as HMO's, joint ventures, and managed care
alliances. Our pledge to our health care clients is that we will
continue to meet all of these continuing challenges first hand and
provide them with competent and efficient local representation on
all issues affecting them.
