Recording of a 90-minute CLE webinar/teleconference with Q&A
Conducted on Wednesday, February 1, 2012
Recorded event now available
This CLE webinar will provide healthcare counsel with a review of current trends in the use of gainsharing arrangements and common gainsharing models. The panel will outline best practices for hospitals and physicians to minimize legal and business risks when entering into gainsharing arrangements.
Description
Gainsharing arrangements encourage hospitals and physicians to work together to make patient treatment more efficient by giving physicians a percentage share of a hospital’s cost savings that result from the physician’s efforts to reduce costs.
Healthcare counsel face a number of legal and regulatory hurdles when assisting their clients with structuring gainsharing arrangements. In the past, the arrangements have been found to potentially violate the Civil Monetary Penalties Act and the Anti-Kickback statute.
Counsel must have a detailed understanding of the legal and business issues implicated by gainsharing arrangements to properly structure and document the arrangements.
Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare practitioners examines gainsharing arrangements and the key legal and regulatory concerns when structuring and documenting the arrangements.
