Structuring Physician Practice Acquisitions: Key Stark Law Considerations - Webinar (Recorded)

  • Webinar

  • 90 Minutes
  • February 2018
  • Compliance Online
  • ID: 4593594
Why Should You Attend:

As health care organizations and physician practices pursue acquisition strategies and transition to more innovative post-transaction models, they must manage their compliance and enterprise risk by ensuring any new arrangements are defensible under the Stark Law. Prior to moving forward with any arrangement, they should carefully evaluate whether the proposed structure and financial terms support compliance with Stark's technical requirements and key tenets of defensibility so they will be prepared to mount a defense in the event the arrangement is ever challenged.

This webinar will focus on the Stark Law's underlying technical requirements and key tenets of defensibility as they apply to physician practice acquisitions.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

Provide a general Stark Law overview
Examine critical regulatory requirements related to physician practice acquisitions
Discuss best practices for drafting purchase agreements and the related financial terms
Discuss best practice for drafting post transactions service arrangements (e.g. employment, professional services, etc.) and the related financial terms
Review processes for documenting fair market value and commercial reasonableness
