Host Ericka Adler welcomes healthcare attorney Laura Lauth Andrews from Lauth O’Neill, LLC. In this thought-provoking discussion, Ericka and Laura dive into the often-overlooked topic of physician recruitment agreements. Laura sheds light on what a recruitment agreement is and the requirements under the Stark Law that impact the agreement structure and whether a recruitment agreement may be legally offered. Together, they explore the various elements of recruitment agreements between hospitals, physicians and practices, and the type of support provided, such as compensation, bonuses, relocation expenses, and start-up funds. They also talk about the burden on physicians to remain in the community for the forgiveness period or to bear the burden of repayment, and how groups often shift this liability entirely to the physician while benefiting from the finances of the arrangement.
