CON and Medicaid Provider Reimbursement Appeals Attorneys

Certificate of Need

The Lexington, Kentucky law firm of Nichols Walter PLLC has been involved in assisting clients with a wide variety of administrative and regulatory issues including Certificate of Need (CON). The Kentucky CON law imposes specific requirements on providers. These requirements can create operational barriers for healthcare providers desiring to build, modify, renovate or relocate healthcare facilities, initiate certain new healthcare services or obtain certain medical equipment.

Our CON practice represents providers at all stages of CON-regulated projects. This includes guidance throughout the CON application process and litigation of CON appeals at trial and appellate levels. In addition to representing healthcare providers seeking a CON, we also represent entities who are opposed to the granting of a CON to a provider.
