I am pleased to announce that I will be speaking in an upcoming live phone/web seminar entitled "Physician-Hospital Clinical Integration: Navigating the Complexities" scheduled for Thursday, July 21, 1:00pm-2:30pm EDT.
Effective clinical integration of hospital-physician systems will be a core element of healthcare delivery. Providers must transform current systems into integrated healthcare models to meet the incentive requirements established in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
Healthcare providers must also understand the requirements for clinical integration, which is essential for healthcare providers to participate in accountable care organizations (ACOs) and other new public and private healthcare delivery and payment arrangements in the wake of the new PPACA.
My fellow panelists and I developed this program to prepare attorneys for healthcare providers to structure clinical integrations, including complying with applicable antitrust law, anti-kickback/Stark/CMP law, and the requirements under healthcare reform.
We will offer our perspectives and guidance on these and other critical questions:
- What are the core elements of a clinically integrated provider network within the meaning of the antitrust laws?
- What issues do ACOs face under anti-kickback and Stark laws?
- How do service contract arrangements have to be structured to avoid jeopardizing the hospital's tax exempt status?

Accountable Care Organizations March 2010
Accountable Care Organizations was discussed by William DeMarco and Michael Barrett President of Ascendent Health Celebration Florida Presentation on the background and requirements in forming an Accountable Care Organization under the newly approved health care reconciliation bill. There are many opportunities for providers and health plans to develop the next generation of integration with Accountable Care Organizations as the structure. Different from Medical Homes, ACOs cover a larger breadth of providers and are therefore able to connect with more benefits offered by Medicare or commercial payers. However the requirements, as they stand today, demand providers be organized as a contracted network with proper reporting in place and the ability to alter reimbursement to accept bundled payments.
