Health Care/Medical Services Delivery Law

The attorneys at Crush & Varma Law Group P.C. understand the healthcare industry. Our medical services practice began over 20 years ago when firm lawyers were deeply involved in the general representation of local hospitals and physician groups. We advised on the initial corporate restructurings which brought about foundations, parent companies, joint ventures and clinical extensions, offshore insurance entities, for-profit subsidiaries, captive PC’s, and transition of employed emergency and radiology groups to private practice, the development of hospitalists, physician recruitment practices and loans, and through the ever-changing regulatory environment of Stark and its iterations and Anti-Kickback legislation on the federal level and fee splitting and referral issues of the states.
