This CLE webinar will provide an overview of the key legal, business, and valuation issues implicated in professional services arrangements (PSAs), including Stark Law and anti-kickback compliance, and other key PSA issues. The panel will offer best practices for determining whether a PSA is the optimal model to use and, if so, for getting the deal done.
PSAs provide hospitals and physicians an alternative to physician employment. When structured properly, PSAs can align hospitals and contracting medical groups to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare services.
PSAs are a means of integrating hospitals and physicians to transform fragmented care processes into integrated healthcare models. They can be beneficial for the hospital, physicians, and patients and allow for increased flexibility to unwind the arrangements if the goals of the parties change.
Recent Stark Law changes and enforcement cases have impacted PSAs. Counsel must carefully structure the PSA to achieve physician-hospital alignment while complying with Stark, its state counterparts, and state and federal anti-kickback laws, as well as tax-exempt status when applicable.
Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys provides an overview of the key legal, business, and valuation issues implicated in PSAs, including Stark Law and anti-kickback compliance and other key PSA issues. The panel will offer best practices for determining whether a PSA is the optimal model to use and, if so, for getting the deal done.
