Hassan’s practice focuses on advising a broad range of clients—including health plans, pharmacy benefit managers, rebate aggregators, providers, and private equity firms—in contract negotiations, complex industry transactions, and compliance and regulatory matters. He regularly counsels plans, PBMs, rebate aggregators, and providers on regulatory, operational and contracting matters; and often advises clients on compliance with the anti-kickback statute and corporate practice of medicine prohibitions.

Hassan leverages his prior experience  representing private equity firms in various acquisitions, restructurings, and growth equity transactions to provide reasoned and pragmatic solutions to a wide range of client needs. 

Prior to joining Mintz, Hassan was an associate with a large, international law firm in New York City, and then later, with a boutique law firm in Los Angeles.

Hassan received his J.D. from Duke Law School, where he was an editor of the Duke Journal of Constitutional Law and Public Policy. He received his B.S.Ed and MPH from Baylor University, with a concentration in health education.

The next post in our series analyzing the recently proposed Contract Year 2023 Policy and Technical Changes to the Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Programs rule (Proposed Rule), focuses on a regulation impacting Part D sponsors and their reporting of pharmacy price concessions. According to CMS, the proposed change—which would require the “negotiated price” of a covered Plan D drug to be the lowest possible payment made to a pharmacy by a Plan D sponsor—is expected to (i) reduce out-of-pocket costs for plan beneficiaries at the pharmacy counter, (ii) create greater drug price transparency, (iii) stabilize the operating environment for pharmacies and (iv) improve market competition.

On April 22, 2021, Reps. G.K. Butterfield (D-NC) and David McKinley (R-WV) introduced H.R. 2759, or the Pharmacy and Medically Underserved Areas Enhancement Act. Its introduction marks a fourth bipartisan effort in the House to enact the legislation, which would allow Medicare to directly reimburse pharmacists for delivering certain health care services to Medicare beneficiaries living in areas with limited access to primary medical care. Hindsight suggests that when introduced in the past, the Act may not have been ripe for consideration. But now, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and on the heels of successful initiatives like the West Virginia vaccine rollout, Congress may not wish to table discussion of the legislation any longer.
