or skilled care nursing home and assist in regards to Medicare and Medicaid

REPRESENTING NURSING FACILITIES
| We are experienced in utilizing New Jersey’s Medical Assistance
Application and Appeal process to obtain for our clients every advantage in
obtaining the outstanding balance. In private pay matters, we strive to
provide our clients with aggressive, high quality representation, as governed
by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and to obtain the highest debt
collection possible, at the lowest possible cost. |
| An area of particular concentration for our firm
focuses on collection matters pertaining to nursing homes. Our firm has
over thirty-three (33) combined years of legal experience. Our office has a
comprehensive system of computer software and internet tools to locate and
expedite the collection from uncooperative debtors. Through past experience in
the specific area of skilled nursing care, we have been successful in actively
pursuing bad debts from residents who owe money by sending demand letters and
promptly filing lawsuits. |
| As an integral part of its healthcare practice, The Law Office of W. Craig
Knaup is dedicated to providing effective collection services at a reasonable
cost. Experienced attorneys, knowledgeable of important federal and state laws
and regulations in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania, guide our clients safely
and efficiently through the healthcare collection process. |
|
In addition to our collection practice, our firm
specializes in drafting or fine tuning admission’s contracts and representing
nursing homes. We have assisted providers in developing nursing facility,
personal care and other agreements, which facilitate compliance with
regulatory requirements for admission and care. We are familiar with the many
regulations governing relationships between providers and resident/patients.
We have participated in developing policies for healthcare providers to comply
with discrimination laws in the admission and transfer and discharge process.
