Before joining the government, Cathy was a shareholder in the BakerOber Health Law Group at Baker Donelson. While in private practice, Cathy had a broad, national practice representing health care systems, hospitals and providers in compliance and regulatory matters with a particular focus on fraud and abuse, alternative payment models, provider and physician alignment strategies, and guidance on legal aspects of health system operations, both independently and in support of in-house counsel. From 2003 to 2007, she was Senior Counsel with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) at the US Department of Health and Human Services within the Industry Guidance Branch. There she developed advisory opinions to the health care industry on whether an activity violated the federal antikickback statute or other OIG fraud and abuse authorities.

She is one of the primary authors of the OIG’s electronic prescribing and electronic health records safe harbors under the federal antikickback statute. Cathy has worked closely with health care providers and transactional counsel during due diligence to address identified compliance concerns which may require internal investigations and possibly reporting to the government. Cathy has extensive experience preparing, negotiating, and resolving matters through the OIG and CMS self-disclosure protocols. Building on her fraud and abuse background, Cathy has expanded her her areas of practice to include substantial work in the area of alternative payment models, co-management relationships, and gainsharing. Cathy works closely with health systems and providers participating, by assisting with the design, implementation, and compliance oversight of such arrangements.
