Decipher Recruitment and Retention Agreements with Legal Expertise

Contact Florida Healthcare Law Firm to help your medical practice understand how to implement the most complex recruitment and retention agreements so you can establish solid staffing and spend more time focused on your patients.

Everyone knows that in any industry, turnover can be costly. The entire process of hiring and firing, in some cases, can be time-consuming and mentally exhausting. Consistency of staff—value over volume— in any medical practice leads to higher quality healthcare. Florida Healthcare Law Firm can help medical professionals better understand the details of recruitment and retention agreements so more time can be spent focused on patient care and outcomes. An article in the New England Journal of Medicine discussed the time it takes for hospitals to recoup the investment of new primary care physicians and specialists. In some cases, it takes three years or more to make up for this ‘break-in’ period. So hiring the right person and keeping that individual is crucial for success. Let us help you structure the ideal business relationship with our expertise in employee handbook development, EEOC issues and termination regulations.

In addition to staffing issues, Florida Healthcare Law Firm offers specialized counsel in telehealth investigation. Do your online practice services meet state and federal requirements? This is vital. Practitioners must be wary of false claims, over payment and criminal charges in order to reduce regulatory risk. Online medical care is increasing so rapidly that practitioners need legal advice in sorting out new policies as they develop, especially at the state level where most legislation is originating. For example, in the treatment of substance abuse, most patients are required to meet in person with their physicians prior to admission, but in many states, this is not possible. So virtual consultation is becoming acceptable and allowable in certain instances. Yet there is a right and wrong way to implement this. Our attorneys can help you sort through these legal details so you can place your patients’ needs first. We also consult on billing and payment—tedious but necessary issues, especially for transient ‘sunbirds’ who have dual state residences—as well as ever-evolving Medicare claims.
