Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
Description
Hospital acquisitions of physician practices continue to climb, driven by reimbursement pressures, physician shortages, and capital constraints. Because these transactions are complex and involve significant risk, careful planning and execution are critical.
When structuring and negotiating acquisition deals, counsel to healthcare systems and physicians must carefully consider regulatory hurdles, valuation, pricing, escrows, and indemnities.
Listen as our panel explains the key legal and business considerations with hospital acquisitions of physician practices, including applicable laws and regulations and fair market value considerations. The panel will offer strategies for negotiating and structuring the arrangements.
