FMV and Commercial Reasonableness Challenges in Physician Compensation Arrangements: Meeting Compliance and Regulatory Requirements

Description

Compliance in establishing and implementing physician compensation arrangements is challenging in a changing healthcare landscape. Many aspects of effective compliance begin with an understanding of the regulatory issues involved and the ever-changing valuation dynamics, including challenges under the Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute.

Current valuation and regulatory challenges exist in physician compensation arrangements, such as (1) employment/professional services arrangements; (2) emergency department call coverage; (3) service line management arrangements; and (4) real estate rental arrangements. Each of these compensation areas is becoming increasingly complex and nuanced, further complicating the resulting valuation and regulatory concerns facing healthcare attorneys and compliance professionals today.

As the use of these arrangements grows, these types of arrangements continue to increase in complexity. As a result, new issues that require attention in the valuation process arise. Healthcare counsel and advisers must take into consideration a variety of healthcare regulatory requirements, including AKS, Stark, and False Claims Act.

Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare advisers addresses critical issues involved in valuation in PSA/employment deals, ED call coverage, and service line co-management arrangements. The panel will address valuation and regulatory concerns that result and offer best practices for overcoming valuation challenges.
