Our health care transactions lawyers represent numerous health care organizations in merger, acquisition, divestiture, and affiliation transactions and in evaluating and structuring their relationships with other industry participants. We frequently advise our clients in evaluating and structuring hospital change-in-control transactions; hospital-physician joint ventures; recruitment, employment, and service arrangements with physicians; outsourcing agreements; and other complex health care business arrangements. Our lawyers design and successfully implement cutting-edge integration and delivery strategies for hospitals, health systems, insurance companies, and large physician groups across the country. In addition, Jones Day represents many of the leading academic medical centers (AMCs) in the United States and our lawyers are experienced in structuring the complex relationships between medical schools, teaching hospitals, and faculty practice plans.
Our practice includes representation of hospitals and acute-care facilities, nursing homes, ancillary service providers, assisted-living facilities, physician groups, health plans, pharmacies and pharmacy benefit management companies, and group purchasing entities.
We draw upon our health care lawyers’ experience in the many facets of complex health care transactions-including tax, antitrust, Medicare reimbursement, Stark, anti-kickback, labor, employee benefits, finance, privacy, and state and local regulatory issues–to assist client leadership in evaluating deal structures, negotiating deal terms, performing due diligence, and consummating transactions.
Our lawyers have handled every type of physician-hospital joint venture (including ASC, diagnostic imaging, cancer center, and specialty/whole hospital syndications), co-management and gainsharing arrangements, physician practice acquisitions, the development of provider-based clinics, and regulatory-compliant physician employment compensation models. We identify for our clients future macro economic trends for hospital-physician relations and offer strategies to help them prepare for that future. Our lawyers are well versed in all of the applicable regulatory requirements that govern hospital-physician relationships, including the Stark law, the anti-kickback statute, the civil monetary penalties law, and the laws and regulations governing tax-exempt organizations and public bodies. Our lawyers have worked with numerous health care industry consultants and valuation companies and can offer recommendations based on our experience with them.
Our lawyers provide a full range of legal services for AMCs including change of control transactions, joint ventures, clinical research compliance issues, GME/IME payment issues, teaching physician billing and PATH audits, intellectual property matters, HIPAA and Common Rule compliance, False Claims Act litigation, compensation models for faculty physicians, and transplant program accreditation.
