Travis Lloyd is a nationally recognized healthcare regulatory attorney with deep experience in the complex fraud and abuse, reimbursement, and compliance issues that matter most to healthcare industry stakeholders. He represents a broad range of clients, with a special focus on hospitals and health systems, ambulatory surgery centers, and physician practices. His work has earned national attention from Law360 and Bloomberg Law. Clients quoted by Chambers USA have called him “an encyclopedia of the law” (2021) and praised his “tremendous situational awareness” (2025).
Key areas of focus include:
- Fraud & Abuse – Travis is routinely engaged for high-stakes fraud and abuse matters. He helps clients navigate the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, and other fraud and abuse laws. He advises on compliance strategy, manages internal reviews and investigations, guides voluntary disclosures to government agencies, and provides strategic counsel in government investigations and False Claims Act litigation. Noteworthy highlights include obtaining advisory opinions, helping clients implement Corporate Integrity Agreements, shepherding clients through OIG audits, and serving as an expert witness on the Stark Law.
- Reimbursement – Travis counsels clients on complex reimbursement questions, with particular depth on issues specific to hospitals and health systems. He advises on Medicare provider-based status matters, site-neutral payment issues, billing requirements, and other reimbursement rules that shape how providers structure services, manage risk, and get paid. His experience includes guiding health systems through the provider-based attestation process, navigating co-location arrangements, representing clients in appeals of adverse reimbursement determinations, and counseling clients on the payment implications of proposed development projects.
- Licensure, Certification & Accreditation – Travis advises healthcare facilities on the approvals and standards that govern their ability to operate. He handles complex enrollment and licensure matters, Medicare revocation actions and other administrative appeals, survey and certification deficiencies, and regulatory issues tied to changes of ownership, new sites of service, and evolving care models.
- Transactions – Travis regularly acts as lead regulatory counsel on healthcare transactions, designing appropriate structures, leading teams in due diligence, and resolving challenging regulatory issues. His deal work runs the gamut in scale—from single-site physician practice acquisitions to public company mergers and acquisitions—and sector—including hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, physician practice platforms, home health and hospice agencies, behavioral health providers, kidney care providers, outpatient imaging centers, and other healthcare businesses. Significant matters include a major public company hospital system merger, the spin-off of a hospital platform into a standalone public company, the acquisition of a national physician practice management organization by a leading health services company, and the acquisition of a prominent ambulatory surgery center platform by one of the country’s largest healthcare companies.
