Presenting: David Zarett
Legal Updates: Management Service Agreements—Recent Updates in Enforcement; Payer Audits
The prevailing trend throughout the United States involves extensive consolidation in the health care industry and, in particular, the acquisition of medical practices by large hospitals or health care systems. The primary thrust of this presentation will involve an overview of the important legal and business considerations that physicians should take into account when considering the advantages and disadvantages of a hospital/health system acquisition offer, and the negotiation process, if the physician decides to go forward with the transaction. Examples of the issues addressed at the presentation include structuring compensation formulas, the acquisition of hard assets, restrictive covenant and nonsolicitation provisions, term and termination provisions, linking privileges to continued employment, administrative versus clinical duties, malpractice insurance, and malpractice tail concerns. Consolidation has also lead to the establishment of larger practice groups, which, in turn, consider contracting with management companies to facilitate administrative operations. Today’s presentation will also involve new and significant developments in the law regarding the permissible parameters of practice management arrangements.
