Assessing the Viability of Hospital Physician Joint Ventures in the New Regulatory Environment
Description:
Hospitals and physicians seeking to joint venture can face important regulatory issues, and those regulatory issues may change as the parties, moving from the initial conceptual stage, establish firm goals and expectations for their venture.
This presentation will address the following topics:
- Defining relevant markets, assessing competitive effects, and limiting antitrust exposure in the formation and operational stages of a joint venture;
- Minimizing Stark law, fraud and abuse issues, and other regulatory risk; and
- Realistic limits on non-competition agreements.
