About Meridian Regulatory Associates

Trusted healthcare regulatory consultants serving nursing home operators across New York and Florida.

Who We Are

Meridian Regulatory Associates is a boutique regulatory consulting firm dedicated exclusively to the healthcare sector. We specialize in guiding nursing home owners, operators, and investors through the complex regulatory approval processes required by the New York State Department of Health (DOH), the Public Health and Health Planning Council (PHHPC), and Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA).

Our clients include first-time nursing home buyers, multi-facility operators, private equity groups, and healthcare attorneys who need a reliable regulatory partner to prepare and file the detailed applications, disclosures, and notifications that state agencies require. We handle Certificate of Need (CON) applications, Change of Ownership (CHOW) filings, 90-day advance notifications, Schedule 2A/2B ownership disclosures, CMS Five-Star Quality Rating analyses, 40% rule assessments, and civil monetary penalty tracking and disclosure.

What sets Meridian Regulatory apart is our singular focus. We do not dabble in other areas of healthcare law or consulting — nursing home regulatory compliance in New York and Florida is all we do. That depth of focus means our clients benefit from a team that knows every nuance of the DOH review process, every AHCA submission requirement, and every pitfall that can delay or derail an application. We work alongside transaction counsel and lenders to ensure regulatory milestones stay synchronized with deal timelines.

Whether you are acquiring your first nursing home, expanding an existing portfolio, or navigating a complex multi-party ownership transfer, Meridian Regulatory Associates provides the specialized expertise and personalized service your transaction demands. Our track record of successful approvals across hundreds of regulatory matters speaks for itself.
