Event Synopsis:
Health care continues to evolve rapidly in the United States as do the relationships of hospitals and physicians. Several factors have been encouraging partnerships between hospitals and independent groups of physicians. The primary aim of these Hospital–Physician Integration Transactions is to reduce costs. But secondarily, it is to improve efficiency and the quality of patient care in response to the new health care laws.
Direct employment of physicians allows for easy compliance with federal and state regulations and enables collaboration on pricing that physician-hospital organizations (PHOs) do not. The alternative is closer collaboration with physicians without paying them a salary. Under Management services organizations (MSOs), hospitals administer the business and the physicians practice.
The hospital, or its affiliate, can purchases all of the assets of the physician practice and employ the physician or lease the practice. Federal fraud and abuse laws, including the Anti-kickback Statute (AKS) and the Stark Law come into play in such affiliations. The AKS prohibits the offering, payment, receipt, or solicitation of any re-numeration in exchange for referrals of federal health-care services. The Stark law is a strict liability, civil law that prohibits a physician from referring a ‘designated health services’ to an entity with which there is a financial relationship.
The hospital or health system should carefully consider which model fits the goals and objectives of its organization, to what extent physicians should be involved in the governance and management, that sound payment contracts exist, and that all physicians salaries and any rentals are at ‘fair market value’.
The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key thought leaders to provide the audience with an in-depth over-view and analysis of emerging Physician-Hospital Integration Strategies. Speakers will provide insight into sound strategies to ensure legally binding contracts and compliance with federal and state laws in 2015 and beyond.
Key topics include:
− Physician-Hospital Integration Transaction (PHIT) Models
− Physician Practice Acquisition
− Employment vs Practice Lease arrangements (PSA)
− Purchase of physician owned ancillaries services
− Legal Issues Associated with Physician Integration
− Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS)
− Stark Law
− Factors to Consider in Pursuing Physician Integration
− Choosing a Model that Fits Organizational Goals and Objectives
− Physician Involvement in Governance
− Assessing Physician’s Practice, etc.
− Compliance and Litigation Risks
