Baxter represents healthcare providers in regulatory, compliance, and litigation matters, focusing on reimbursement issues and all aspects of Medicaid participation, supplemental payments, and related financing mechanisms across the country.
For the past fifteen years, Baxter has primarily represented healthcare providers, initially working on recovering underpayments from managed care organizations. In addition to assisting with payor disputes, his work now includes finding ways for providers to cover the shortfall in the cost of treating Medicaid and uninsured patients. Baxter assists in the development, implementation, and maintenance of Medicaid supplemental payment programs, fostering collaborations between private healthcare systems and public entities to create new reimbursement opportunities through various government payment programs. His work covers the full spectrum of healthcare regulatory and compliance law, addressing issues across the legal framework for all government and commercial payment systems.
Today, Baxter has a national practice with a Texas focus and divides his time between healthcare regulatory counsel, litigation, and assistance with reimbursement systems, including regulatory oversight of payments through audits, government inquiries, and administrative reviews. He also assists with programs utilizing provider taxes, public-private collaborations, and intergovernmental transfers. The most rewarding part of his work is the opportunity to support providers in their patient care mission and address challenges that allow them to continue treating underserved communities.
Clients value Baxter’s positive personality and the partnerships he builds over time. He aims to provide clients with the maximum results through the minimum of costs. His goal is always to solve clients’ problems in the most straightforward way possible so they can focus on their healthcare mission.
