By popular demand, Vinson & Elkins will be repeating the program recently held in our Austin office. On Friday, June 18, V&E will host a lunch seminar on the new Stark II Phase II Final Regulations at our Houston office. Our speaker once again will be Donna Clark, a nationally recognized authority on Stark and illegal remuneration. Donna will address the general and specific application of Stark II to hospitals, academic medical centers, and physicians, including: personal services arrangements, professional courtesy discounts, physician recruitment, specialty hospital ownership, non-monetary compensation, special issues concerning academic medical centers, in-office ancillary services exception, and new regulatory exceptions.
