“Private Equity in Physician Practices: Compliance Considerations”

PYA Principal Annapoorani Bhat spoke during the American Health Law Association’s Fraud and Compliance Forum. The forum focused on emerging regulatory trends, as well as recent case law and legislative developments, and how they will affect legal and compliance practices in healthcare. Annapoorani joined Kelly Koeninger from Robinson Bradshaw for the presentation, “Private Equity in Physician Practices: Compliance Considerations.”

Key topics included:

  • Recent settlements entered into by private-equity-backed companies.
  • Key points of enforcement focus in settlements.
  • Various structures private equity firms use when investing in physician practices, including Management Services Organizations.
  • Compliance risk overview.
  • Valuation concerns and ways to structure arrangements within fair market value.
  • Ways to structure compliant arrangements.
  • Case studies of illustrative arrangements.

The forum was held virtually September 21-22, 2021, with an optional in-person add-on September 30-October 1. Annapoorani spoke September 22 as part of the virtual session. View the presentation slides here.
