What are Healthcare Mediation and Arbitration?
Arbitration
The more formal of the two methods, arbitration involves presenting facts and arguments to an impartial decision maker. Arbitration can be binding or nonbinding. Mr. Carfora is available to serve as an arbitrator or advocate in matters involving:
- Private insurance coverage
- Patients rights
- Nursing homes
- Hospitals
- Clinics
- Individual healthcare providers
Mediation
Mediation is a private negotiation facilitated by a trained neutral whose role is to reach a settlement acceptable to both sides. The parties are not required to agree but often find that mediation helps them to resolve a matter with a minimum of time and expense.
There are many talented Florida attorneys who mediate. Unfortunately, most of them know little about healthcare law. Consequently, both sides can spend more time educating the mediator than resolving the matter at hand.
Mr. Carfora is a certified mediator who is familiar with the healthcare industry and its rules and regulations. Not only does he have the ability to help you resolve your disagreement, he understands the context in which it arose.
