Practical Advice on Handling a Government Enforcement Agency Inquiry

Governmental investigations can strike anxiety into any health care organization. Richard Merino, Managing Director, BRG, speaks with Leia Olsen, Lead System Compliance & Investigations Counsel, Ascension, Jonathan Porter, Partner, Husch Blackwell LLP, and William Brady, Partner, Holland & Knight LLP, about how health care organizations can strategically respond to governmental inquiries. They discuss the different types of investigative demands, how governmental investigations usually start, the first 48 hours and why organizations should conduct “parallel investigations,” why collaboration with the government usually makes sense, and when to approach the question of a settlement. Leia, Jonathan, and William spoke about this topic at AHLA’s 2025 Fraud and Compliance Forum in Baltimore, MD. Sponsored by BRG.
