Biography

Richard “Rich” Hill practices in the areas of health care law and corporate law, with an emphasis on health care fraud and abuse compliance, corporate transactions, and administrative law matters.

Rich advises clients on various health care compliance and regulatory issues, including: the False Claims Act; the Anti-Kickback Statute; the Stark Law; the Controlled Substances Act; Certificates of Need; and, other health care statutes and regulations. He has experience representing health care professionals and facilities in all phases of litigation against government agencies, contractors, and licensing bodies.

Rich is also involved in every phase of the life cycle of health care entities, from the structuring and drafting of initial corporate documents, to the due diligence, negotiation, and document preparation for corporate transactions. In addition to his litigation and corporate work, Rich assists hospitals, developers of assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, and other health care providers in obtaining Certificates of Need from the Missouri Health Facilities Review Committee for the construction and/or expansion of health care facilities or the purchase of
