Are you searching for an experienced, proven general counsel for a San Diego medical practice or healthcare entity? Establishing and managing a San Diego medical practice, surgery center, urgent care facility, or physician group is governed by complex federal, state and local laws and regulations covering both corporate law and the delivery of health care.
Strategies such as the Management Services Organization or MSO
Your general counsel for a San Diego medical practice or healthcare entity should help you to evaluate and implement strategies to improve the quality of patient care and satisfaction while preserving or improving the profitability of your organization. A Management Services Organization or MSO is one possibility.
California has strict laws regarding the “corporate practice of medicine” but it is absolutely possible to implement an entity which can assume many of the “corporate” aspects of a medical or healthcare-related business without participation in the practice of medicine. An MSO provides important supportive services including but not limited to:
- Provision of real estate / facilities
- Supporting vendor contracts and the management of business operations such as billing, collections, and taxes
- Provision of computer hardware, software, networking and backup to support operations
- Distribution and sales of products
Healthcare and Medical Practice Governance and Compliance
Compliance with the Affordable Health Care Act and Medicare’s billing coding can substantially impact the smooth daily operations as well as reimbursement for services and care provided. Compliance with HIPPA, Stark Law and CalOSHA must be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in procedures and policies.
