Hospital and Physician Joint Ventures
Hospitals and physicians continue to develop more integrated networks through joint ventures. Regulatory authorities take hospital and physician joint ventures very seriously and often attach excessive fines and punishments to convictions for things like improper kickbacks and illegal fee-splitting arrangements.
Surgery Centers
Surgery centers lend themselves to joint ventures given the fact that they are typically separate Limited Liability Companies and are allowed by the federal government to be jointly owned by physicians and hospitals.
There is a strong trend to have more surgery centers developed in conjunction with hospitals. This includes hospitals and physicians coming together to develop new centers, as well as hospitals reaching out to physicians to have them join as partners in existing surgery centers.
