For each case study, the instructors will present a scenario involving facts in a particular healthcare legal setting. Students should review this factual scenario and then: (1) identify the types of legal issues involved in the scenario; and (2) identify which laws, rules or regulations may be applicable to the scenario. Again, there are no specific right or wrong answers, the scenarios will present a number of issues and applicable laws, rules and regulations for students to identify as part of the case study. Students will be graded on both the amount and type of issues, laws, rules and regulations which they identify. For instance, if a student only identifies one issue and one set of laws, rules or regulations, while another student correctly identifies several of each of those items, the student who identifies more of them will receive a higher grade. The instructors are not looking for solutions to the issues, but rather a students ability to spot the issues and the potentially applicable laws, rules and regulations. Again, there are no right or wrong answers, and multiple issues, laws, rules and regulations will apply in each case study. FACTS: A hospital system which is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 entity is negotiating with a physician group practice to joint venture on a healthcare delivery module whereby the physicians will perform services for patients, the hospital will fund the joint venture, and it will include diagnostic imaging procedures and other services which could be designated as ancillary services under the federal Stark Law. Please identify the business, tax, fraud and abuse and Medicare considerations and issues which the parties will need to have their legal counsel analyze prior to entering into the transaction. Also, please identify the potential federal and Florida healthcare regulatory laws, rules, regulations and legal principles which could be involved in this transaction. Students may simply list the issues and the potentially applicable laws, rules and regulations in a bullet type of format instead of spending several pages writing out the explanation. In doing so, students should list issues and identify them as issues, and then put a separate listing for laws, rules, regulations and principles.
