Retail Clinics in Healthcare: Compliance, CPOM, Licensure, Scope of Practice, Reimbursement, and More

Navigating Relationships With Physicians, Hospitals, Pharmacies, and Payers

About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will provide information on the role of retail clinics in providing healthcare including a discussion of the key legal, regulatory, and business issues involved with establishing, operating, and staffing these clinics. This will include not only structuring, operation, and regulatory considerations, but also how digital health technology and artificial intelligence affect the services that are provided by these clinics.  

Description

Retail clinics have become a common feature at many "big box" stores with clinics located within retail outlets such as Target (Target Clinic), CVS Health (MinuteClinic), and Kroger (The Little Clinic). Where physicians and hospitals once widely regarded retail clinics as a threat to their business and risky for patients, the market has shifted with retail clinics adding to the pantheon of participating providers of healthcare services.

With the increased need for healthcare access, retail clinics have found their niche in the delivery system and offer a convenient alternative for not only patients but also for hospitals, physician groups, retailers, insurers, local pharmacies, and private investors. However, as with any healthcare service, there must be due consideration of the legal and regulatory landscape.

Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys examines the expanding role of retail clinics and the issues raised by their emerging relationships with pharmacies, physicians, hospitals, health systems, and payers in the healthcare system.
