Hospital-Physician Integrations—Advanced Case Study of Legal and Valuation Issues Raised in Hospital-Physician Integration Transactions (Advanced) 

Wednesday, June 9, 2010
Co-sponsored by the Business Law and Governance, Hospitals and Health Systems, and Physician Organizations Practice Groups

Description

Using a simulated case study approach, we will highlight legal issues commonly raised in hospital-physician integration transactions. This will be an "advanced" session--we will presume that participants have a working knowledge of the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS); Stark Law; tax laws and regulations affecting tax-exempt organizations; and other applicable state and federal statutes, laws, rules, and regulations. We [The speakers] will concentrate on identifying and exploring AKS, Stark, and other issues raised under the facts of the case study in connection with the negotiation and structuring of the acquisition transaction, physician employment model, physician compensation plan, and fair market value appraisals that will support the practice purchase price and the projected physician compensation under the compensation plan. Each member of the panel will close with a "Top 10" list of "Do's" and "Don'ts" compiled from each panelist's experiences in working on physician-hospital acquisition and integration transactions.
