Taylor focuses on healthcare regulatory matters.
With a passion for assisting healthcare institutions in providing top-notch care to patients, Taylor helps clients proactively ensure regulatory compliance with a complex array of state and federal laws. Her practice is primarily centered on healthcare privacy, confidentiality, and behavioral health matters: as a law student, Taylor interned with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, where she worked with substance use treatment records. The experience convinced her that her own calling was regulatory work in related areas, with an emphasis on proactive measures over reactive ones.
Today, Taylor supports behavioral health providers as they work to comply with the February 2024 Final Rule changes to 42 CFR Part 2. She is extensively familiar as well with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), the SUPPORT for Patients & Communities Act, and regulations governing emerging therapies, and she serves on an internal team monitoring changing MHPAEA regulations regarding parity for medical and behavioral health benefit coverage.
Taylor also regularly assists providers in establishing and maintaining healthcare information exchanges, including the preparation of forms and policies to ensure compliance with both the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and 42 CFR Part 2 privacy regulations. She routinely monitors changes in HIPAA regulations as well—and if and when breaches occur, she supports clients in their response
In addition, Taylor counsels health insurers as they establish new product lines. She also serves on the firm's Hospice & Palliative Care team, representing hospice providers in appeals of adverse Medicare audit decisions.
Hardworking, enthusiastic, and resourceful, Taylor is known for her reliability, her clear communication style, and her ability to break down intricate issues.
