Todd Kelly's health industry practice spans three decades of advising clients in their most important transactional and regulatory matters.

His work involves innovative and first-in-market projects, including multi-provider affiliations and joint ventures, facility and practice purchase, sale and management, physician alignment, group purchasing, and outcome and value-based arrangements. He advises telemedicine and technology platform clients regarding compliance and expansion. Todd is often called upon to assess and document novel relationships involving health care providers. In doing so, he is able to draw on decades of experience with the federal anti-kickback statue and Stark Law and state corporate practice of medicine and fee-splitting prohibitions. He advises both tax-exempt nonprofit and private and publicly traded for-profit organizations. He is familiar with the issues faced by tax-exempt organizations and the tools available to address those complexities in transactional and regulatory matters.

Recently, Todd has counseled clients on unique arrangements involving professional sports team sponsorship, group purchasing, and cooperative bed prioritization among facilities. He has successfully helped telehealth platforms and related professional organizations explain their working relationships to state medical boards. He has worked with physician-joint ventured facilities since the inception of the prevailing joint venture model. He regularly counsels investors and commercial and private lenders regarding their health industry transactions.

Todd is a member of the American Health Lawyers Association and the State Bar of Texas. He is Board Certified in Health Care Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and has served on the Exam Commission for that board.
