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.

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.

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."
