About Karina
Biography
After a extended journey in healthcare litigation on the payor side, for some time now, I changed the focused of my practice to defending medical providers and businesses in healthcare reimbursements, transactions, disputes, commercial health insurance audits, Medicare and Medicaid audits, healthcare fraud investigations, operational compliance and managed care contracting.
Smaller healthcare practices and businesses are extremely vulnerable to constantly evolving healthcare regulations. Unlike large practices and business that typically have in-house legal counsel, smaller practices need consistency and dependability in legal representation for continued viability . Healthcare audits are a part of everyday business activity, it's not if, but when your business will be audited. So preparation and representation is key. I partner with smaller practices and businesses to provide experienced, efficient and responsive legal representation.
I am experienced in representing a range of practices and businesses such as Primary Care practices, physician practices, detox and substance use facilities, mental health health practices, nurse registries, toxicology laboratories and other healthcare related businsses.
I graduated from the University of Cincinnati, College of law in 1993 and have continuously practiced in the private law firm setting in Florida. I have an AV preeminent rating from Martindale Hubbell and am a member of the Florida Bar Health Law Section; a member of the Civil Rules of Procedure Committee; and a member of the American Health Lawyers Association, Health Law Section.Practice Areas

Outstanding
Karina helped me tremendously in resolving the case of repayment of my medical fees on the behalf of multiple insurance plans. Karina handled my case very well.

Friendly
I am very thankful to Karina Gonzalez, who legally helped in changing my business plans for starting a new healthcare business. It required a lot of investments, but I was very appreciative of the advice from Karina Gonzalez.

Loves her attitude
I am very much thankful to Karina Gonzales, who has helped me out in a healthcare related case. It was stressful and I felt there was no way out, however, Karina was able to litigate on my behalf.

I am happy with the results
Karina Gonzalez really helped me in getting the reimbursement back from an Insurance company. She is very knowledgeable and knows her work. I liked the way she understood my situation and analysed it. I am very glad that I contacted her as an agent.

She gave me clear advise
Our nursing home hired Karina Gonzalez to develop policies and procedures for the reimbursement of payments affiliated with managed care payors. We now have our policies in place and our organization is very grateful to her.
