New Stark Law Concerns With Exclusive Physician Contracts

For years, the Stark Law may have been a sleeping giant for the health care industry, but it has now fully awakened. Not only have there been a number of seven- and eight-figure settlements involving alleged Stark Law violations, but a recent U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit decision has raised the stakes for hospitals and other provider-based settings with regard to exclusive physician contracts and potentially other arrangements in which physicians are granted use of hospital facilities.

Please join us as Foley attorneys Lawrence C. Conn, Maria E. Gonzalez Knavel, and Lawrence W. Vernaglia analyze the questions and issues for hospitals within and outside of the Third Circuit’s jurisdiction in light of its decision in U.S. ex rel. Kosenske v. Carlisle HMA, Inc.
