Health Care

Most physicians and hospitals start with a simple mission, to provide excellent care to patients.  But they find they have to pursue that mission in a world that is increasingly complex, regulated, bureaucratic, financially risky and generally frustrating.  It’s often not enough for a physician to have a deep fund of knowledge and refined skills, or for a hospital to have a skilled and motivated staff, effective management systems and modern facilities. They also need knowledgeable, sophisticated, business-minded legal and compliance advice.  Bill Stempel has worked with physician practices, hospitals, researchers and others in the field of health care on day-to-day operations as well as strategic matters, including among other things:
•    Practice affiliations and acquisitions
•    Physician employment and “leased employee” agreements
•    Stark and anti-kickback analysis
•    Billing, collection and related financial matters
•    Compliance audits
•    Hospital services restructuring
•    Real estate and facilities issues
•    Managed care contracting
•    Licensing and accreditation
He understands the challenges facing health care providers, and can help find practical and cost-effective ways to meet them.
