Does Your Medical Director Agreement Meet The Test?

Agreements and joint ventures between physicians and hospitals must conform to regulatory requirements. What physicians and hospitals must recognize is that even simple medical director and consulting agreements can create problems. Did you know:

• The arrangement must be in writing, signed by the parties and specify the services covered by the agreement
• The agreement must cover all arrangements between the physician and the entity
• The aggregate services of the arrangement may not exceed those that are reasonable and necessary for the legitimate business purposes of the agreement
• The term of the agreement must be for at least one year
• The compensation must be set in advance, must not exceed fair market value and must not be determined in a manner that takes into account the volume or value of referrals
• The agreement must not involve the counseling or promotion of a business activity that violates state or federal law
