This publication on healthcare facility leases covers the basics such as the important distinctions between contract law and the law governing leases, contracts that precede the lease agreement, the provisions that create the business positions for the respective parties, and advanced issues that apply specifically to healthcare facility leases. The author's continuing theme throughout the book is the motivations and goals of the key parties, including not only the landlord and tenant, but also the landlord's mortgagee, the working capital loan lender, and the subtenant. This method reveals the underlying dynamics of the parties' negotiations, their concerns and the source of same, and the resolution of these issues.
Coverage includes:
• Economic issues: the market and rent;
• Regulatory issues: HIPAA, doctor-patient confidentiality, Anti-Kickback and Stark, American Disabilities Act (ADA), and compliance;
• Physical issues: physical and structural improvements, practice groups with special locations; and
• Operational issues: landlord entry, early termination and use.
