Todd Kelly has served major institutional health care clients in their most important transactional and regulatory matters, in Texas and nationally, for more than 20 years. Much of this work has involved innovative and first-in-market projects, including sophisticated hospital-physician and multiprovider joint ventures; single specialty (e.g., cardiac) and cross-platform (e.g., adult-pediatric) service line joint ventures; health care facility acquisition, divestiture, and change of ownership; provider affiliation and alignment, including value-based, accountable care, integrated delivery network, and co-management models; freestanding outpatient, urgent, emergency, and community care strategies; medical practice acquisition and management; telehealth implementation and expansion; and bed prioritization systems.

Todd has bought, sold, reorganized, or syndicated health care providers across the United States. He has worked on behalf of tax-exempt and for-profit providers (including in the telehealth, dental, behavioral health, and veterinary subsectors), as well as for private equity and venture capital, domestically and internationally. His experience includes leading major company-wide transactions as well as counseling on health care regulatory matters, including the federal Stark Law, the federal anti-kickback statue and safe harbor regulations, Medicare and Medicaid enrollment, reimbursement and change of ownership, the corporate practice of medicine and fee-splitting, and telemedicine and digital health regulations, including interactions and advocacy with State medical boards.

Todd is a member of the American Health Lawyers Association, American Bar Association (Health Law Section), and the State Bar of Texas (Health and Business Law Sections). He has spoken and written extensively on health industry legal issues.
