Why should you attend?
Given the substantial awards and settlements in recent Stark Law enforcement actions, Stark Law compliance has become more than just a compliance issue: it is an enterprise risk management issue.
Many independent, hospital and system-affiliated medical groups/ physician practices are organized and operated with an intention toward qualifying as "Stark group practices." The Stark group practice structure presents both a unique opportunity for compensation flexibility and unequaled complexity and compliance challenges.
As medical groups pursue integration strategies and transition to more innovative arrangements, they must manage their compliance and enterprise risk by ensuring their structures and compensation arrangements continue to meet all of the structural and operational requirements for being a “group practice."
Auditing and documenting compliance with these hyper-technical requirements periodically will be a prudent practice for medical group's looking to enhance the defensibility of their organizational structure and compensation models.
