Clients who work with Boult Cummings Health Care Joint Ventures practice are served by a multidisciplinary team of attorneys representing the areas of business and health care, with specific experience in corporate, tax and various regulatory fields. These attorneys counsel clients on the formation of both ancillary joint ventures, such as surgery centers, cardiac catheterization labs, imaging centers and sleep centers, as well as whole-hospital joint ventures.
Our Health Care Joint Ventures attorneys regularly collaborate with attorneys who practice in other areas of the firm such as Tax in regard to tax exemptions and unrelated business income tax. We also assist clients with issues involving governance; fraud and abuse (Stark and state anti-kickback and self-referral issues); anti-trust; and reimbursement, such as under arrangement billing and provider-based issues.
Our clients include the dominant nonprofit system in our market, two national proprietary hospital chains, a chain of PET imaging centers, three chains of surgery centers and numerous smaller entities.
