Lisa Katz uses her passion for law to bring a unique hybrid skill set to both the health care transactional and regulatory compliance spaces, as well as the financial services industry.

Using her prior experience working both in-house at a Chicago for-profit hospital and a national Am Law 200 firm, on behalf of Lisa's health care provider clients, she acts somewhat as an outside general counsel and interprets a broad range of regulatory, corporate and compliance issues. These include, but are not limited to: 

• Privacy and security of health information, including HIPAA
• Medicare, Medicaid and commercial reimbursement
• Licensing and fraud and abuse matters
• Corporate and contractual arrangements involving hospitals, clinics, surgery centers, physician groups and long term care and senior housing facilities
• Clinical integration, alignment and space sharing arrangements between hospitals, health systems and physician groups

With respect to Lisa's lender and bank clients, Lisa documents, negotiates and closes a wide variety of loan transactions with specific experience relative to credit facilities within the health care industry. She has extensive experience representing lenders in financing transactions for acute care, long-term care and senior housing, home health, hospice and behavioral health providers, among others, across the country. These loans include, but are not limited to, revolving lines of credit, term loans (both unsecured and those secured by real estate and/or business assets, including Medicare, Medicaid and other government receivables), bridge-to-HUD loans, and HUD-intercreditor arrangements. Lisa’s multi-disciplinary approach to health care finance transactions benefits her clients as a result of her previous work on both sides of these matters, as she understands not only the legal, but also the business, operational, regulatory, public policy and finance issues involved for all parties. Moreover, the diligence she oversees in representing lenders in these transactions most often benefits the borrower as well, for compliance and risk mitigation purposes.
