Strategic Considerations for Physician Call Coverage Arrangements
Posted by Jason Greis on January 19, 2009 under Whitepapers | Be the First to Comment
I have recently spoken with a number of LTACH administrators and CEOs interested in entering into compensated call coverage arrangements or expanding the scope of their existing compensated call coverage programs with hospitalists, intensivists, and other physicians. Call coverage arrangements generally provide an excellent opportunity for LTACHs to align hospital and physician patient care objectives and for creating strategic long-term relationships with physicians in the community. These arrangements, however, also have the potential to adversely impact a hospital’s bottom line and raise a number of practical legal and business considerations discussed below that should be carefully considered.

As the Democrats take control of the House, the Senate and the Presidency many question the impact of such a change on physician-owned hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (“ASCs”). The most significant question being: Will the federal government shut down and/or restrict physician-owned hospitals and ASCs? The short answer to this question is: (1) no the Federal government will not shut down ASCs, and (2) maybe the Federal government will halt the development of new physician-owned hospitals and/or restrict the activities of and adopt new rules relating to existing physician-owned hospitals.
