Ambulatory Surgery Centers—known as ASCs—are modern health care facilities focused on providing same-day surgical care, including diagnostic and preventive procedures.

ASCs have transformed the outpatient experience for millions of Americans by providing them with a more convenient alternative to hospital-based outpatient procedures—and done so with a strong track record of quality care and positive patient outcomes.

Ambulatory Surgery Centers are complex operations to run and manage. The many legal and regulatory compliance burdens add to the complexity. Stark Law, Anti-kickback statue, Safe harbor compliance, HIPAA, Informed consent processes, are just to name a few of the many legal issues ASCs must address.

At Cohen Healthcare Law Group, we also help ASC owners with fraud and abuse concerns, operating agreements and transactions, and other legal issues within the boundaries of the complex healthcare regulatory system.
