Joint Ventures: Legal Handbook Hardcover: 234 pages
This book provides comprehensive treatment of each distinct body of federal law governing hospital joint ventures. It contains separate chapters on the various types of laws, including health care fraud and abuse, antitrust, securities, and Medicare certification and enrollment. Each chapter details an overview of the particular body of law and an analysis as to how the body of law affects hospital joint ventures. With hospitals maintaining their lowest operating margins in over a decade, and with one third of them maintaining negative operating profits, joint venturing with one another and with physician groups is a fiscal necessity. However, these ventures are fraught with legal risks. Hospital joint ventures implicate a variety of federal laws, including those related to fraud and abuse, restrictions on tax exempt institutions, anti-trust restrictions, and the issuance of securities. This essential book summarizes the pertinent federal laws implicated by joint ventures, identifies risks, and presents strategies by which hospital executives can structure and operate joint ventures which meet their business objectives while minimizing compliance concerns. You are also provided with additional chapters which integrate the laws that govern hospital joint ventures and and describes what steps must be taken to ensure compliance with these laws throughout the various steps in implementing a joint venture. Separate chapters address compliance requirements when selecting investors, structuring the joint venture and operating the joint venture. Coverage in this book includes:
