Jane Bello Burke

Jane Bello Burke is a partner at Hodgson Russ. She represents hospitals, health systems, physician groups, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, home care agencies, and other healthcare providers in regulatory, reimbursement, litigation, and compliance matters.

Her practice focuses on healthcare litigation and regulatory enforcement matters, representing providers facing allegations that may threaten their operations, reimbursement, program participation, and reputations. Jane frequently assists clients in responding to survey findings giving rise to immediate jeopardy determinations and enforcement remedies, such as civil money penalties, potential Medicare payment denials, and government program terminations. She routinely guides providers through immediate response strategies and assists them in addressing the longer-term legal, financial, and reputational consequences of enforcement actions.

Jane also represents healthcare providers in audits and reimbursement disputes, including matters involving statistical sampling and extrapolation. She analyzes audit methodologies and findings, reviews medical and billing records, and works through administrative and appellate processes to challenge or reduce recoupment demands. In addition, she represents and advises providers in matters involving whistleblower allegations, coordinating factual development and legal strategy to mitigate exposure and disruption.

Across these matters, she helps clients navigate complex regulatory processes to address deficiencies, preserve cash flow, protect licenses and reputations, and maintain operational stability so they can focus on what they do best: providing care and services to the individuals they serve.

Increasingly, artificial intelligence is playing a growing role in healthcare operations, including clinical documentation, claims processing, and government audit and enforcement activity. As these tools become more prevalent, they present new regulatory, compliance, and risk management considerations. Jane advises healthcare providers and presents to professional groups on the legal implications of artificial intelligence in healthcare and is the author of an article on this subject published in the New York State Bar Association Health Law Journal.
