Peter J. Millock - Lawyer in Albany, NY

Peter Millock is a senior member of the firms Health Care practice.

What do you focus on?

My practice encompasses hospital-to-hospital alignments, affiliations among physicians, hospitals, long-term care providers and mental health and disability services providers, purchases and sales of nursing homes, clinics and medical practices, enforcement matters before New York State agencies, certificate of need and other applications requiring New York State agency approval, and Medicaid and other payor audits.

I have crafted innovative health care arrangements in New York, including the first alignment between a New York and an out-of-state hospital, the first alignment between a Catholic and a secular hospital, one of the first affiliations of long-term care providers and one of the first applications for an assisted living residence in New York State.

Prior to working at the firm, I served for 15 years as general counsel to the New York State Department of Health and am very familiar with its regulations, procedures and protocols. I routinely appear before state regulators.

I also participate in the development of state health regulatory policies and health-related state legislation. For example, I am contributing to deliberations on barriers to private investment in New York health services providers, the future of New Yorks certificate of need process, parent/subsidiary relationships in hospital systems and corporate practice of medicine prohibitions. I am a past Chair of the New York State Bar Associations Health Law Section.
