Shloka B. Joshi

Shloka counsels the healthcare industry in transactional and regulatory matters. Her clients include hospitals, nursing homes, long-term care facilities, ambulatory surgery centers, physicians, physician practices, and telehealth companies. Shloka assists clients with the formation of business entities, asset purchase agreements, employment agreements, and Board/governance issues, and she advises them on a variety of compliance and regulatory matters, including issues involving federal and state regulators, reimbursement issues, managed care contracts, payer issues and disputes, and cybersecurity/privacy laws.

Always interested in healthcare throughout her undergraduate and post graduate studies, Shloka focused on understanding the underlying policies, regulations, and laws impacting healthcare. Her experience as an in-house attorney within the industry taught Shloka how to address client concerns wholly rather than issue by issue. She can understand, for example, how a regulatory change impacts the whole enterprise, not just what that change means legally. She helps clients with state and federal administrative appeals related to enforcement and recovery actions, licensing and certification applications and advice, defending governmental allegations of health care fraud and abuse, and nursing home survey and certification issues.

Clients look to Shloka to provide all the possible outcomes of a matter so they are able to make the best decisions about next steps and are informed about all risks and opportunities in advance. They appreciate her attentiveness to their needs and responsive to their questions and concerns.

Prior to joining Archer, Shloka was the Assistant Legal Counsel & Privacy Officer with Community Behavioral Health in Philadelphia and is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Pennsylvania in the Master of Public Health Program.
