Its a new world out there for business ventures between physicians and non-profit, tax-exempt hospitals.

The current financial downturn and credit crunch, coming on the heels of significant shifts in the rules and policies affecting tax-exempt hospitals and physician self-referrals (Stark Law), has made the physician tax-exempt hospital joint venture landscape even more complicated. The change in the Administration in Washington likely alters the environment even further.

Get the answers you need and save time, money and frustration by enrolling in this convenient 90-minute audio briefing. Two of the nations leading healthcare and tax law attorneys will examine the changing landscape of hospital-physician ventures, including strategies for restructuring existing ventures and structuring new ventures to meet the new regulatory requirements while still meeting the underlying business expectations of all parties.

With real-world examples, youll receive practical guidance from both the physician and hospital perspectives on:

Adapting to the new economic environment
Implications of the new IRS Form 990 disclosure requirements and the IRS focus on hospital good governance best practices
Changes to the Stark Phase III regulations (Under Arrangement, click fees and more) issued with the 2009 Inpatient Prospective Payment System rule
The standards that the Internal Revenue Service uses to evaluate ventures between a tax-exempt hospital and non-exempt individuals or entities
Unrelated business income tax (UBIT) considerations
Using facilities financed with tax-exempt bonds
Valuation issues
And more.
