Strength in Numbers.
In today’s complex healthcare landscape, long-term care providers are increasingly facing legal challenges that are not isolated—but widespread across the industry. Defending these cases individually can be costly, inefficient, and inconsistent.
Our National and State Litigation Groups were created to change that.
We bring together providers who are facing similar issues, creating a unified approach to litigation that is both strategic and cost-effective.
National SNF Litigation Group – Strategy in Action. Coast to Coast.
The NSLG was formed to address, via coordinated litigation, national issues adversely impacting long term care providers. The goal is to eventually address the unconstitutional aspects of the Star Rating System, as well as laying the foundation, and creating the playbook, to quickly address future federal statutes or CMS regulations that are also unconstitutional.
The importance of coordinated efforts cannot be overstated. Knowing which case to litigate, where to litigate it, and which legal strategies & theories to rely on is the difference between creating future precedent that helps as opposed to bad case law which undermines industry goals.
Membership in NSLG is confidential, and costs are based on each provider’s size, involvement in other litigation, and overall membership count. Unless a provider opts to openly participate during group Webex Meetings and in-person meetings, each provider’s participation will remain anonymous.
Schizophrenia B Audits (SAB) is a good example of the “why” and “how” of NSLG. SABs are unconstitutional in their origin, application, and have seemingly weaponized extremely disproportionate financial sanctions. The “why” is clear. The “how” is clear, too. After a decade of building case law in the federal courts, there are finally workable, accepted litigation theories & strategies to address the SAB problem, especially in specific federal circuits’ courts.

State Litigation Groups – National Reach. Local Precision.
Our State Litigation Groups bring together providers within the same jurisdiction to address state-specific regulatory and reimbursement challenges through a coordinated legal strategy. By aligning members facing similar issues, these groups enable more targeted litigation, reduce duplicative costs, and improve the likelihood of consistent, favorable outcomes. This approach ensures providers can respond efficiently to evolving state actions while benefiting from shared insight and collective advocacy.
A Smarter Way to Litigate.
