Profile

Julian Polaris focuses his practice on regulatory and policy advice for health care stakeholders such as state governments, health care providers, public health plans and private insurers. He provides guidance on Medicaid issues related to coverage and reimbursement, including with respect to demonstration projects under Sec. 1115 of the Social Security Act. Julian also has extensive experience in a variety of issues related to the Affordable Care Act, as well as the regulatory standards for health care providers under state licensure laws and the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs.

In recent months, Julian has been helping clients navigate the many emergency measures that have been enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including policies that are linked to the federal Public Health Emergency and equivalent state-level emergency declarations. His experience includes regulatory flexibilities for health care providers; the coverage and reimbursement landscape for COVID-19 testing, treatments and vaccines; and federal and state efforts related to vaccine distribution planning.

Prior to joining Manatt, Julian served as a law clerk to the Honorable Susan L. Carney of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and also to the Honorable Nicholas G. Garaufis of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
