Below are some of the most common services we offer to healthcare practices in the area.
- Entity Formation and Registration
The first step in establishing a private healthcare practice in Illinois is to form a PLLC or PC. We form these entities for physicians and other healthcare practitioners, ensuring that the entity structure and ownership comply with Illinois law. We also assist with the IDFPR registration process.
- HIPAA Compliance
Ongoing HIPAA compliance can be an overwhelming task for a small healthcare practice to handle on its own. We support local clients with this obligation by preparing comprehensive HIPAA policies and procedures tailored to the practice, including those incorporating healthcare privacy regulations specific to Illinois.
- Employment and Independent Contractor Agreement
Many of our Evanston and North Shore clients receive job offers from hospitals or other healthcare practices in the Chicago area. We review those agreements before signing to help physicians and other healthcare practitioners understand the terms and identify would should be negotiated. We also draft employment and independent contractor agreements for practices hiring clinicians or administrative staff and ensure that non-compete provisions are structured to be enforceable under Illinois’s 2022 amendments.
- Full Practice Authority Assistance for APRNs
Many APRNs pursue independent practice and seek FPA. We help local APRNs through that process from obtaining FPA to drafting the collaborative agreements.
- MSO Structure
For individuals who are not licensed to hold ownership in a practice directly, we structure management services organizations (MSOs) and management service agreements under Illinois law to accomplish their goals.
