ADLS #5: Contractual and Governance Issues among Providers in Bundled Payments

Bundled payments necessarily entail allocation of a single source of dollars, or a reconciled budget, to disparate providers. In the mid-90s, disputes over how to allocate monies contributed to the relative failure of a number of PHOs. In this webinar, Faculty will outline contractual structures and provisions to ensure that payments are consistent with the expectations of the participants. Faculty will not address Stark, anti-kickback or gain-sharing issues.

When:

Thursday, March 22, 2012
3:30pm - 4:30pm ET

For:

The content will be most relevant to bundled payment project directors, internal counsel, and financial and contracting leads from all organizations providing services under contract within the episode.

Presenting:

• Alice G. Gosfield, Esq., Alice G. Gosfield and Associates, P.C.
