The CON team is frequently engaged to provide advice on issues of CON applicability and to address issues regarding compliance with conditions such as charity care conditions which are frequently placed upon CONs. We frequently represent providers in navigating challenges to and responses to letters of intent, represent providers seeking good cause party status and defend against petitions seeking good cause party status to intervene in COPN proceedings. Hancock Daniel’s CON attorneys appear at public hearings and informal fact finding conferences before the Virginia Department of Health on a routine basis. Hancock Daniel also maintains an extensive library of CON decisions and other applicable precedent not otherwise readily available.
