Medical Staff Matters
  • We empower medical staffs with knowledge and
    expertise in areas like medical staff bylaws,
    fair hearings, on call arrangements, conflicts of
    interest, disruptive physician policies, anti
    trust and EMTALA. In this era of growing
    financial relationships between physicians and
    hospital systems, it is exceptionally important
    for medical staffs to be independently
    represented and the interests of physician
    members to be protected.

Physician Issues
  • Perhaps no other group of professionals are as
    regulated by state and federal law as physicians.
    Even space and equipment rental arrangements are
    regulated. We know the complexity of laws like
    Anti Kickback, Stark, Fraud and Abuse, Fee
    Splitting, EMTALA and anti trust and routinely
    advise physicians on matters such as hospital
    based contracting, medical group formation,
    employment contracts, compensation models, lease
    arrangements, ambulatory surgery center
    development, hospital call arrangements, merging,
    buying or selling medical practices and
    shareholder issues.

Corporate Law and Employment Contracting
  • Our lawyers have significant experience
    drafting and interpreting contracts between
    healthcare businesses and professionals,
    including physician recruitment agreements,
    physician employment agreements, non-compete
    agreements, and exclusive provider agreements. We
    also have extensive experience with corporate
    founders, shareholders and operating agreements,
    buy-ins, compensation arrangements, practice
    sales and purchases. By drawing on the combined
    talents and experience of our attorneys, our
    clients will be aware of every important nuance
    of contracts and will comply with the
    requirements of state and federal fraud and abuse
    laws and other statutory and regulatory
    challenges unique to health care professional
    entities.

Anti Trust
  • It is becoming increasingly important to be
    proactive in taking advantage of protections
    afforded by the antitrust laws to combat
    predatory and anticompetitive business practices
    that can interfere with a clients ability to
    compete in a certain market. The Florida
    Healthcare Law Firm has an in-depth understanding
    of the economics, regulatory constraints, and
    business pressures which converge in the
    healthcare arena. In order to prevent allegations
    of price fixing or other government enforcement,
    particularly as it relates to IPAs, group
    practices and joint ventures, it is essential to
    have a seasoned lawyer involved to analyze and
    advise on joint ventures in order to mitigate
    risk.

Recruitment
  • The Florida Healthcare Law Firm routinely assists
    clients in reviewing, negotiating and advising on
    hospital recruitment and retention arrangements,
    including development of policies and procedures,
    counseling, drafting and negotiating final
    documents.

EMTALA
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor
Act (EMTALA) is a crucial compliance issue for
physicians and hospitals. Increasingly, the
federal government is scrutinizing providers of
emergency medical services to determine
compliance, and the current economic climate
makes the issue even more pressing. Whether a
client is in need of staff or an individual
physician, we can structure business arrangements
that comply with this complex area of the law.

Healthcare, Physician and Regulatory Laws
ANTI-KICKBACK AND SELF-REFERRAL
  • The Florida Healthcare Law Firm regularly
    counsels clients on compliance with Federal and
    State anti-kickback statutes and provides
    in-depth guidance and analysis to healthcare
    providers on issues arising out of federal
    self-referral laws. Whether you require a brief
    explanation or a full-blown analysis and legal
    opinion, we will assist you in determining the
    most appropriate and effective manner in which to
    proceed.

FEE SPLITTING
Healthcare, Physician and Regulatory Laws
  • Fee splitting is a common issue faced by
    providers in compensation situations,
    particularly in the presence of percentage-based
    fee arrangements. Violations of fee splitting
    statutes can create serious issues for all
    parties involved. The Florida Healthcare Law Firm
    can help to prevent you from becoming a victim.

FRAUD AND ABUSE
  • The Florida Healthcare Law Firm is a reliable
    resource for navigating you around the world of
    increasingly complex and ever-changing fraud and
    abuse laws. We structure and document
    transactions and design policies and procedures
    for compliance with the fraud and abuse rules and
    counsel clients on how to properly unwind
    transactions and ventures. Some of the things we
    can do include
  • Structuring complex business arrangements
  • Conducting internal investigations to determine
    whether violations exist or have existed and to
    assist clients with self-disclosures to the
    government, if necessary
  • Performing healthcare fraud and abuse due
    diligence reviews and
  • Advising manufacturers and vendors on compliance
    with group purchasing organization safe harbors
    as well as financial relationships with
    physicians.

HIPAA
  • We assist clients with the complex patient
    information privacy issues and technical
    security-related issues involved with the Health
    Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
    (HIPAA). Protecting patient data and deterring
    unauthorized access, use or disclosure of PHI is
    critical to prevent yourself from running afoul
    of the regulations. Be prepared with HIPAA
    Privacy and HIPAA Security Policies and
    Procedures which will stand up against such
    scrutiny. Make sure all of your business
    associate agreements are up-to-date and that you
    are not vulnerable to being assessed fees or,
    worse, that you will be put under a Corporate
    Integrity Agreement by the Office of Inspector
    General. We provide what you need, including
    detailed privacy and security forms, to maintain
    compliance with the intricate and demanding
    burdens of HIPAA.
  • Some services we have provided
    in the past involve on-site HIPAA education,
    training to boards of trustees, management,
    medical staffs and other personnel, policy and
    procedure assessment and development, business
    associate audits, minimum necessary assessments
    and HIPAA security audits. From analysis, to
    creation of policies and procedures, to
    implementation, to monitoring, to enforcement, to
    revision, we handle it all so that you dont have
    to "roll the dice."
