Legal Support For Healthcare Transactions

Our lawyers at Weiss Zarett Brofman Sonnenklar & Levy, P.C., in New Hyde Park, handle a broad range of complex corporate transactional matters. Our lawyers represent businesses in general, but they also handle complex transactional matters for the healthcare market. Corporate transactions for healthcare entities and health systems are exceptionally complicated due to compliance and regulatory issues.

If you are a decision maker for a nonprofit entity, a medical center or other types of healthcare organizations and need legal transactional support in the healthcare industry, our firm can assist.

Corporate Transactions In The Healthcare Industry

As corporate transaction attorneys, we routinely advise our clients with respect to business strategies. Any corporate transaction has the potential to be complicated and nuanced. Our corporate lawyers provide counsel and advice for:

Regulatory Issues In Healthcare Markets

Unlike general business transactions, healthcare transactions require additional care and concern. A myriad of regulatory, compliance and notice requirements have the potential to affect contracts with health plans and healthcare transactions. We structure transactions within the healthcare markets to comply with the numerous laws governing business relationships in the healthcare industry, including:

• The Anti-Kickback Statute
• The Stark Law
• The prohibition against the corporate practice of medicine
• The Civil Monetary Penalties Law

We are experienced with assisting healthcare providers and facilities with respect to a litany of  transactional matters, including but not limited to:

• The formation and purchase of Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC)
• Certificate of Need (CON) and related Article 28 matters
• Office-Based Surgery (OBS)
• Managed Care Organizations (MCO)
• MSO – Management Service Organizations (MSO)
• MSA – Management Service Agreements (MSA)
• IPA – Independent Practice Associations (IPS)
• ACO – Accountable Care Organizations (ACO)

We can facilitate the sale or transfer of physician practices to hospitals and hospital systems. We can provide support for the formation, organization, purchase, sale and restructuring of healthcare entities, including professional corporations, business corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies.

We also provide legal counsel and advice for medical center, practice and healthcare entity management. Our lawyers are well-versed in regulatory and employment law matters, including the drafting of healthcare industry related employee handbooks and providing support to implement practice policies and procedures to comply with health and safety regulations.
