Wading through new healthcare laws and regulations requires a strategic legal partner. Healthcare providers and related suppliers are subject to federal and state anti-referral and anti-kickback laws unique to the healthcare industry, which affect numerous transactions and carry stiff civil and criminal penalties if violated.
We also:
- Assist physician and medical practices, businesses, and organizations in deciphering, responding to, and planning for an increasingly more complex healthcare industry.
- Draft leases, purchase and sale agreements, management services agreements, joint venture documents, joint purchasing agreements, and supply agreements to maintain compliance with the laws.
- Advise clients on activity affected by these rules, including physician recruitment and compensation, group practice profit-sharing arrangements, and relationships between hospitals and physicians.
