Alan J. Sedley draws on his invaluable experiences while servicing as corporate in-house general counsel to two large California hospital systems to compliment his thirty-plus years as a private law firm healthcare attorney. During his years in-house, Alan performed work on a wide array of legal projects pertaining to corporate business issues at the health system level, while managing transactions, litigation, regulatory compliance and operational processes at the hospitals.
Through private practice and as retained outside counsel, he regularly advises and represents physicians, multi-specialty and singularly focused medical groups, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, ambulatory surgical centers, behavioral health providers and others in the healthcare industry in their oft-challenging operational issues, credentialing and board licensing issues, as well as addressing the traditional business and legal concerns within the contexts of the healthcare marketplace.
Over years of healthcare law practice, Alan has pursued a specialized focus and offers highly experienced and dedicated counsel to large medical groups and hospital medical staffs on issues ranging from medical staff credentialing, privileging, recruitment, peer review analyses arising from suspected practitioner clinical deficiencies or disruptive conduct, peer review body and committee investigatory processes, and detailed guidance on peer review hearing procedures as well as all statutory reporting requirements. He provides his expertise to the analysis and revision of medical staff bylaws and policies and procedures. Alan has been retained and has served as a peer review expert witness in civil trial, offering his expertise of peer review due process requirements as applied to federal and state regulatory schemes.
As an experienced civil litigator with a proven track record of success in all phases of civil and federal court trials, Alan’s client-focused strategies and depth of experience also come into play through his efforts to resolve matters efficiently and expediently without needlessly exposing his clients to the uncertainties and costs often associated with litigation through use of his honed analyses skills and mediating ang negotiating techniques. His successful litigation experiences range from the defense of employers in complex sexual harassment matters to litigating professional malpractice claims. He has successfully litigated and resolved cases in federal district courts in dozens of suits and on behalf of hundreds of hospitals nationwide in matters against the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, resulting in the recovery of millions of dollars in additional Medicare reimbursement that had initially been withheld from the hospitals.
Able to navigate the complexities of administrative law, Alan has a track record of successfully representing physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals before California regulatory and licensing boards and agencies, aggressively defending clients through the investigatory and administrative hearing processes, all the while maintaining a keen focus on the ultimate goal of preserving a client’s hard-earned license and enabling him/her to continue professional pursuits.
