Print PDF Academic Medical Centers

Vorys has extensive experience dealing with the unique issues faced by academic medical centers, including representation of medical schools, teaching hospitals, faculty practice plans, research institutes, and affiliated organizations. We have assisted academic medical centers on a wide variety of legal, regulatory, and corporate issues, including governmental investigations. Our attorneys understand the fraud and abuse implications presented by the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and Stark Physician Self-Referral Laws, and counsel academic medical center clients in connection with the formation, operation, and tax exemption of faculty practice plans, conducting internal compliance audits, and the consequences of the various payment arrangements that exist among teaching hospitals, medical schools, and faculty physicians.  Additionally, we represent academic medical centers and universities and their affiliates on matters affecting their tax exemptions.
