Taking an interdisciplinary, industry-based approach, the Massachusetts Health and Hospital Law Manual presents the many business and legal issues facing health care providers, payors, and other participants in the health care industry, along with the regulators overseeing them. This comprehensive manual focuses on health care delivery in its legal, business, regulatory, advocacy and personal aspects. Practice pointers and hypotheticals provide concrete guidance as you navigate the federalization, consolidation, bureaucratization, and increasing regulation of this dynamic area of practice.
