Physician Practices

Taylor-Busch provides comprehensive legal services for physician practices, assisting in the development of relationships that enable practitioners to deliver the highest quality of health care to their patients with the assurance that the financial and legal compliance fundamentals are covered through best-in-class arrangements. The Firm works closely with our physician clients to create the business structure, compensation and expense formulas, commercial leases, and employee relations most appropriate for each individual practice. Each individual transaction is carefully designed to comply with a full range of regulatory requirements from licensing to billing to HIPAA. By listening and understanding the fundamental differences between the business operations of physician specialties, we structure arrangements that allow physicians to keep their focus on their patients.

Hospitals, Medical Centers and Academic Programs

Hospitals and doctors go together, and we understand the relationships, not just the obstacles. The Firm works with our clients to develop and revise relationships, if necessary, to promote the highest quality of patient care while protecting against violations of federal and state law. The restrictions of the Anti-Kickback, Stark and HIPAA statutes and regulations are not as irrational as they are sometimes presented. The Firm uses plain language to make clear what the laws and regulations are trying to prevent and how those restrictions apply to your operations. Our attorneys help dynamic managers work within the regulatory scheme to treat the entire care team fairly and drive continuous improvement.

When it comes to the hospital environment, we understand that healthcare administrators and executives are routinely presented with tough situations – situations that often pose risk. With our extensive experience in legal and risk management, we assist our clients in identifying potential issues and in assessing the magnitude and quantifying the potential impact of various events from regulatory and financial perspectives. Our attorneys work with our clients to design and implement practical, innovative compliance programs which are essential to excelling in today’s regulatory environment.

Long Term Care Community

Health care is a continuum, and each phase has its unique needs. Long term care can be a maze of complexities. The Firm strives to make it as understandable as possible. As health care counsel, we have a unique insight into the dynamics of the interplay between regulatory agencies and the long term care community. We understand the 24/7 nature of long term care and its problems. Whether the concern is qualifying a patient for Medicare or Medicaid assistance, a patient care issue, accreditation or an investigation, our attorneys resolve these matters efficiently, expeditiously and without disruption to the client’s business.

Pharmaceutical Operations & Research

The Firm works with sales representatives, Medical Science Liaisons, and those that assist them. Our attorneys develop programs, make presentations, and advise on proper handling of samples, Anti-Kickback restrictions, and dissemination of information regarding off-label use of products. The Firm has specific expertise with research protocols, contract research organization relationships, Institutional Review Boards, and Pharmacovigilence. Our attorneys develop compliance programs and advise clients in these areas.
