Stark III makes important changes to the rules governing physician recruitment. What's more, comments from CMS in the preamble to the rule provide helpful insight into acceptable recruitment practices.
If your hospital is one of the many struggling to recruit physicians, you need to be aware of these changes. Otherwise, your recruitment packages could lead to prohibited referrals, sanctions from the federal government, and potential whistleblower suits.
To help sort it all out, join Dan Mulholland and Phil Zarone, attorneys of Horty, Springer & Mattern, for Physician Recruitment and Retention After Stark III.
Topics covered include:
- new geographic boundaries for rural hospitals
- permissible restrictive covenants
- recruiting non-physician practitioners

- when does a recruit "join an existing practice"?
- recruits replacing deceased or retiring physicians
- how incremental costs are calculated for group recruitment arrangements
- what kinds of expenses can be picked up?
