Introduction

Management Services Organizations (“MSOs”) can provide real and appreciable benefits to busy practitioners, allowing them to provide better patient care, unencumbered by the demands of micromanaging the business. MSOs can also be a productive venture for those who own and operate them. The ability to provide a turn-key office for busy physicians, and the diverse array of administrative services and equipment that physicians typically require, present an opportunity for MSOs. Additionally, unlike physician practices which must be owned by physicians, there is no impediment for outside capital investment in an MSO. However, the potential for abuse in the MSO model is vast, and that potential is reflected in the applicable laws and regulations on both the state and federal level. From the services provided by the MSO, to the manner in which the MSO is paid, physicians and MSOs need to be aware of whether the management services arrangement they are contemplating (or are already involved in) is, in fact, a legal one.

Hillcrest Jewish Center Adult Education Committee presents: Recent Healthcare Changes and their effect on Physicians and Patients

Guest Speaker: David A. Zarett

The National Practitioner Data Bank (“NPDB”) was created by Congress to serve as a repository of information regarding adverse actions taken against medical professionals. Brought about with the stated goal of increasing the quality of healthcare, as well as curbing healthcare fraud and abuse, the NPDB created a national resource to be used as a credentialing reference by various health-related organizations, consolidating a body of information that was previously fragmented among disparate state and federal sources.

The recent proliferation of online review websites in recent years has caused business owners of all types to rethink the way in which they manage their image in the perilous landscape of social media. Sites such as Google, Yelp, Ripoff Report and countless others have provided a quick and easy venue for unsatisfied patrons to vent their frustrations, often at a time when they are at their most incensed and unreasonable, and immediately after they might feel they have been slighted.
