Physician-Owned Hospitals

Physician-owned hospitals are unique in that they are not only for-profit enterprises but are the products of motivated and innovative physicians seeking to fill the needs of a community through the creation of health care delivery models in which physicians are involved in every aspect of care delivery.   As health care reform initiatives in Washington continue to create uncertainty in the health care marketplace, physician-owned hospitals have faced increased regulation and government oversight.  Hall Render attorneys advise and assist physician-owned hospitals across the country with a full array of services designed to address not only the traditional legal needs of hospitals but also the peculiar regulatory environment and needs specific to physician-owned hospitals.  Hall Render’s depth and experience representing physician-owned hospitals uniquely situates Hall Render to advise physician-owned hospital clients on the onerous Stark Law whole hospital exception requirements, as well as models for growth and future market strategy.
