Health Care Financing and Business Planning

Catalog description

This course focuses on regulatory and business aspects of health care practice. The course emphasizes how various areas of law (e.g., business associations, Medicare and Medicaid law, tax, antitrust, insurance regulation, Stark Law, fraud and abuse) impact the structure and finance of health care relationships and organizations. It also closely tracks implementation of federal and state health reform legislation. The course includes skills components focused on client advising, regulation, policy, as well as a final exam. Students must have either completed Health Care Law prior to enrolling in this course or be enrolled in Health Law during the same semester in which they take Health Care Finance.
