Healthcare Consumer Protection Lawyers

Healthcare is supposed to help you, not take advantage of you. When a provider or facility deceives patients, bills for care that never happened, or ignores your rights as a patient, that's more than poor service, and you may have a claim. We help patients and families push back against providers who put profit ahead of the people they're meant to serve. If something feels wrong about how you or a loved one was treated or billed, tell us what happened. The first call is free.

What Healthcare Consumer Protection Covers

This area is less familiar than other kinds of cases, so here’s what it can include:

  • Deceptive or misleading practices by a provider or facility
  • Fraudulent or inflated billing, or charges for care that was never provided
  • Facilities that keep or treat patients for their own financial benefit
  • Ignoring a patient’s rights, including informed consent, dignity, and safe discharge

When Profit Comes Before Patients

Some providers and facilities treat patients as a revenue source first and people second. When that crosses into deception or fraud, it can cause real financial and personal harm, and it can be challenged. We look closely at how a provider or facility actually operated and where it put its own interests ahead of yours.

What Makes a Strong Case

We don’t take every case, and we’ll be honest with you about yours. The strongest ones usually have documentation, bills, records, or communications, that shows what the provider did, and a real harm you can point to. Keep whatever paperwork you have. It often tells the story.

Things You Should Know

  • These cases take time, and the right approach depends on the facts.
  • Deadlines to bring a claim apply, so it’s best to call sooner rather than later.
  • Documents matter. The more you’ve kept, the clearer the picture.

Why Reinan Law

We take fewer cases than most firms so we can give each one real attention. Jay Reinan has tried more than 50 jury trials and spent his early career inside the healthcare defense world before switching sides in 1999 to represent patients. He understands how providers and facilities operate, which matters in cases about how they treat and bill the people who depend on them. You get a lawyer who knows this work and will tell you the truth about your case.

Where We Practice

We're based in Denver and represent families across Colorado, Wyoming, and Minnesota.

Common Questions

It can include billing for care that wasn't given, misrepresenting a service or its cost, or misleading a patient to keep them paying. If something about how you were treated or charged feels deceptive, it's worth a look.

Sometimes. A simple billing mistake is usually handled directly with the provider. But a pattern of fraudulent or deceptive billing is different, and that's where a legal claim may fit.

Malpractice is about the quality of medical care. Consumer protection is about how a provider or facility treats you as a customer, through deception, fraud, or ignoring your rights. We focus on the second.

We handle these cases on a contingency fee, so you don't pay attorney fees unless we recover for you.
