Experience
Co-Management Agreements
Represented subspecialty physician practices to craft the terms of co-management agreements with hospital systems under which the physician practices assumed responsibility to manage and administer the delivery of care throughout a service line and across multiple facilities. Agreements included negotiation of best practice protocols, terms for quality assurance reviews, staffing, and terms for compensation that satisfied federal and state physician self-referral and antikickback requirements.
Recruitment Agreements
Worked with a large hospital and care facility in West Virginia to recruit physicians as hospital employees and as employees of community-based practices. Negotiated and drafted three-party agreements among the hospital, community-based physician groups and physicians that incorporated the desired terms of employment and financial assistance to community-based physician groups in a manner that satisfied the parties’ business needs and objectives while complying with federal and state regulations, including antikickback and physician self-referral regulations.
