The Center for Health Care Law is a nonprofit, public interest law firm. It was established in January 1987 by the National Association for Home Care & Hospice. The Center for Health Care Law protects the rights of the elderly, disabled, handicapped and chronically ill who require health care services. The firm intervenes on behalf of such persons, filing lawsuits against Medicare, Medicaid, health maintenance organizations and private insurance companies when necessary to protect their vital interests. Numerous other public interest law firms assist the Center for Health Care Law in its efforts to address important health care law issues. The firm also handles most of the litigation that the National Association for Home Care & Hospice feels must be brought on behalf of the membership. |
