I am honored to step into the role of Partner-in-Charge of the Las Vegas office of Zumpano Patricios, P.A. (Zumpano Patricios & Helsten).

I made the move for two reasons.

First, the firm maintains a mature managed care litigation platform. Zumpano Patricios represents hospitals, health systems, and healthcare providers in managed care litigation, pursuing payments owed for contractual breaches, statutory violations, and related causes of action. The firm has recovered several hundred million dollars for its clients.

Second, I was drawn to how the firm practices law. There is passion, vision, and loyalty, with advocacy understood as a personal and shared responsibility rather than a transaction. Those are values I share.

My practice has focused on front-end compliance, structure, and transactions for healthcare practitioners and entities. Increasingly, that work requires attorneys who can remain engaged when payors do not perform or when agreement terms are disregarded.

Zumpano Patricios’ managed care litigation platform makes that continuity possible, allowing counsel to stand with healthcare institutions as matters move from structure and compliance to enforcement.

I am grateful for the road behind me and focused on building this capability for healthcare institutions across Nevada. Cheers!

Zumpano Patricios is pleased to announce the appointment of Ayesha R. Mehdi as Partner-in-Charge of its Las Vegas office, marking another milestone... Read More

Nevada moved SB5 into final enrollment. The bill sets aside $60 million to help bring more doctors, nurses, and specialists into the state, especially in areas with long waits and limited access.

The grants will support projects that expand services, add new programs, and strengthen training pathways. Hospitals, medical practices, behavioral health providers, community clinics, and certain nonprofits can apply. Each project must show measurable results and contribute matching funds.

A key change begins July 1, 2026. Hospitals must finish most privileging requests within 60 days. This matters because onboarding delays are a major reason new doctors take months to start seeing patients.

SB5 will not solve every challenge in Nevada healthcare, but it is a meaningful step. The impact will depend on how organizations use these grants to build stronger teams and improve access over time.
