Profile
Jennifer Vessels represents health care clients, including hospitals, physician groups, and solo practitioners, and nonprofit organizations, on complex regulatory matters, such as HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 compliance, other federal and state privacy laws; cybersecurity; breach and incident response; policy development; telemedicine; physician employment and compensation; professional services and vendor agreements; corporate governance; and fraud and compliance matters, including Stark and Anti-Kickback.
With years of experience working in-house for health care providers, Jennifer understands the operational realities her clients face and the importance of delivering guidance that can be implemented effectively. She believes the strongest physician-patient relationships are built on trust, understanding, and a commitment to seeing patients as individuals, and she brings that same philosophy to her legal practice by taking the time to understand each client's unique circumstances, priorities, and approach to risk. Because even the most well-reasoned solution is only effective if it can be successfully implemented in practice, Jennifer focuses on providing practical counsel that aligns with her clients' goals and day-to-day realities. She works closely with organizations to address immediate legal needs while strengthening long-term compliance and risk management efforts, helping them navigate complex challenges and refocus on patient care and their core operations.
