This CLE course will provide a review of the primary legal issues that arise when forming physician group practices, including applicable laws and regulations aw well as business considerations. The panel will offer guidance on structuring practice management arrangements and selecting compensation models.

Description

Physician group practice formation and structuring often involve complex business issues that overlap with many legal grey areas that can create significant risk without careful planning and execution.

When structuring group practices, particularly where non-physician participation is involved, counsel to healthcare providers must carefully evaluate the corporate practice of medicine issues, Stark law requirements governing physician compensation, and how practice management arrangements should be organized.

Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys explains the key legal considerations when forming physician group practices. The panel will discuss best practices when selecting the appropriate legal entity for the business, structuring practice management arrangements, and establishing compensation models that comply with Stark law.
