Description
The pandemic has been a long battle, particularly for healthcare providers, who have experienced significant burnout. The high turnover in the healthcare profession has created significant challenges for healthcare entities, and physician recruitment is a top-of-mind concern.
Counsel for hospitals and healthcare entities can minimize liability exposure and penalties for improper recruitment by drafting, implementing, and evaluating physician recruitment deals to comply with the Stark self-referral rule and the Anti-Kickback statute.
Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys examines physician recruitment trends and challenges. The panel will also address the regulatory constraints on physician recruitment, including Stark and AKS, and primary considerations in physician recruitment. The panel will also offer best practices to implement effective recruitment agreements and minimize legal risk with physician hires.
