This CLE webinar will guide counsel in healthcare transactions on due diligence measures that effectively identify and mitigate risks and liabilities. The panel will discuss the legal issues to address in healthcare due diligence, including key healthcare risk areas and requirements, compliance programs, certificate of need, ownership changes, licenses, and permits. The panel will offer best practices for conducting due diligence in healthcare transactions.

Description

Due diligence, a necessary component of any healthcare transaction, will identify shortcomings in healthcare law and regulation compliance. It should mitigate potential exposure to liability and is vitally important in healthcare transactions due to the industry's highly regulated nature.

Counsel should review the other party's existing agreements and relationships for regulatory compliance, including the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, and False Claims Act. There may also be exposure to potentially significant liability with protected health information under HIPAA and HITECH.

Often nonprofit organizations enter into transactions with for-profit entities. Due diligence is essential in these transactions so that the nonprofit can maintain its tax-exempt status.

Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys examines due diligence in healthcare transactions and why the due diligence process should be carefully structured and implemented. The panel will discuss the legal issues to address in healthcare due diligence, including key healthcare risk areas and requirements, compliance programs, certificate of need, ownership changes, licenses, and permits. The panel will offer best practices for conducting due diligence in healthcare transactions.
