Covington has long counseled state and local governments on the statutes, regulations, and federal policies affecting the administration of federally-funded benefit programs. Over the last thirty years, we have represented every State in the nation, either individually or in coalitions, and currently represent a majority of the States.
We draw from that rich experience in advising States how to structure and implement their programs in compliance with federal requirements and in helping them to secure approval of state plan amendments or waiver programs. We regularly represent our clients in administrative proceedings, and in challenging state plan disapprovals, disallowances, penalties, or provider decertifications. We also defend state and local governments in legal challenges to the operation of their programs. We keep our state clients apprised of legislative and regulatory developments, work with their congressional delegations, and submit comments on proposed federal regulations on their behalf.
Covington has prepared an extensive series of client alerts to explain the impact of the health care reform legislation on states. A sample of the alerts is available upon request.
The States group does not publicly post their alerts. If you would like to subscribe to our States list, please send an email to the States group.
