Federal bill would expand corporate practice of medicine restrictions
Original: Proposed federal legislation would significantly expand corporate practice of medicine restrictions nationwide
Proposed federal legislation would significantly expand restrictions on the corporate practice of medicine nationwide, limiting the ability of non-physician entities such as private equity firms, hospitals and management companies to control or profit from physicians' medical decisions. Such restrictions currently exist mainly in state laws of varying strength, so a federal measure would mark a major shift in US health regulation.
Why now: Growing national debate over private equity and corporate ownership of medical practices has put the issue on lawmakers' agenda.
