Structuring and Implementing Hospital-Physician Medical Director and Administrative Arrangements: Key Legal Considerations for Health Systems, Hospitals and Medical Groups
Overview:
In this session Mr. Wolfe will provide an overview of the Anti-Kickback and Stark Law, including its 2016 changes. He will also discuss best practices for negotiating and drafting medical director arrangements on behalf of health systems, hospitals and medical groups. The webinar will focus on key provisions that should be included and potential pitfalls that should be avoided.
