About Brian

Brian Jent is a health care operations attorney who specializes in helping hospitals and health systems navigate licensure, accreditation and reimbursement requirements to support growth and operational success.

Brian advises health care providers throughout the country on licensing, certification and regulatory compliance at the state and federal levels. He works closely with hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, independent clinical laboratories and all other types of acute and post-acute facility-based providers as well as physician groups and freestanding suppliers to evaluate new business opportunities, structure transactions and expand services in a way that minimizes operational disruptions and avoids delays in reimbursement.

Brian’s practice includes:

  • Advising on licensure, certification and accreditation requirements for hospitals and other Medicare-enrolled providers and suppliers;
  • Supporting regulatory aspects of transactions, including reviewing proposed structures and expansion strategies;
  • Assisting with Medicare and Medicaid enrollment, participation and reimbursement considerations; and
  • Representing providers in responding to adverse actions, including licensure and certification issues and appeals of Medicare revocations before the Departmental Appeals Board.

Drawing on more than a decade as a respiratory therapist before becoming an attorney, Brian brings firsthand insight into providers’ operational realities, allowing him to deliver guidance that is both strategic and practical. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons enjoying sporting events, golf, and exploring new destinations.
